I serve a great and wonderful God. No, wait...I serve a mighty and awesome God. I mean...I serve a glorious God! Let's face it; the adjectives are far too plentiful, yet each one by itself is far too insignificant to describe His majesty. How about this? He's the great "tri-omni": omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent. He's everywhere, every time. He knows all. He is all-powerful. He can do anything He desires to do, without our intervention. He calls us to serve Him, but He doesn't need us to serve Him.Today, God gave me a great gift. For the first time in my life, I got straight A's on a report card! God took a lowly, average, underachieving sinner like me and put me at the top. WOW, what a humbling experience.
What do I mean by humbling, you ask? All my life, anytime I've attempted anything academic, it's always been for me, for my benefit. Therefore, my mindset was to do what was good enough for me. As long as I got by and passed, I was okay. The goal was the proverbial cheese at the end of the maze, not acquiring the knowledge itself.
This time, it was totally different. God has instilled in me a burning desire to know Him. I didn't take these classes for some prize or other worldly gain. I did it to learn more about Him. In the learning process, He taught me that I am to give Him my best and leave the results to Him...so I did. The result is absolute amazement, on my part, at what He can do in the life of one lowly sinner. Who am I, compared to the Lord of all?
Today, I have one more reason to praise His name. God is good!

"For with God nothing shall be impossible." - Luke 1:37

CONGRATULATIONS! On your As. That is great news. It took an A in my first class to show me that God wanted me to continue the Bible College trail. At that time I wasn't exactly excited about that A but I'm so glad that the Lord helped me to continue in His way.
Happy New Year to you, Jen and boys. I know that the Lord has great things ahead for you and your family.
