So I am doing this Bible study...A Call to Die by David Nasser. WOW! Thats all that I can say about it. It is amazing. In todays study we were to read out of Hebrews 11. This was all about faith. The author listed people after people who all had different outcomes because of their faith. Some we would say are good outcomes and some not so pleasant. But nevertheless, they all resulted in eternal life. How much better can you get. All he asks us to do it just believe and thats it. Now I understand that with believing come suffering and discipline (Hewbrews 12 discusses this-also a muct read!) but when looking at the big picture, IT IS TOTALLY worth it. Jesus had faith in the fact his suffering would bring us salvation and He swallowed that. Today I think that when we hear suffering we dont even want to smell it. C'mon Christians. (I am speaking to myself here.) He died for us. We havent even tasted death and we are scared.
OK soapbox over.
Hebrews 11= a must read!

return of the boring blogger
ok so I doubt if anyone even reads this but just incase you are do find your reading (and bless your heart if you are) then I will try not to be too boring.
so here is an update of ole starkville...or vegas as i like to call it.
1) it has been a bit weird getting used to the fact that I am on my own...i have to cook for myself, clean up after myself, and even bathe myself....ok ok i was just kidding with that one.
2) i think it should go down in the record books, but i have a newfound appreciaton for football. i have been going to the games (with my cowbell in hand may i add) and i shake that thing like i am the fan of fane.
3) special education is HARD. when i first started my classes i thought to myself, "oh this is a breeze." well karma must have heard me and soon began to kick my little hiney....or should i say-big hiney-as it has grown here lately. my teachers all talk so fast with so much information that is foreign to me that i get so confused. on a positive note, i have taken 2 tests and have made a 98 and a 97. my week ended on a good note.
4) nathan is still a youth minister and might i add-he is a might good one at that. we have began to split the girls and guys up once a month so we can talk about specific issues. this past week was our first week to split and it was wonderful. i talked to the girls and nate took the guys. and on top of that, we led worship together for the first time. it was a little shakey but i think that there will be plenty more times for us to get used to it. and who better to sing in front of than the kids who love you the most.
well i think that i have bored you enough. hope you enjoyed and i am going to work on these blogging skills....i need to update a little more. sorry about that.
