Just listen to the words of this song, bask in the greatness of our God. It's what I have been finding myself doing a lot lately, in fact, it seems all I am capable of right now. Maybe I'm being filled for something, that is what I pray. But just know, through the lyrics of this song, that our God is the great I AM. He is the answer to ALL of the "i am nots" that we use to describe ourselves with. Yes, we are nothing...who cares? For He is everything. He is THE GREAT I AM. (Song by New Life Worship)

"All the Way My Savior Leads Me" by Chris Tomlin. All the way my Savior leads me Who have I to ask beside How could I doubt His tender mercy Who through life has been my guide All the way my Savior leads me Cheers each winding path I tread Gives me grace for every trial Feeds me with the living Bread You lead me and keep me from falling You carry me close to Your heart And surely Your goodness and mercy will follow me All the way my Savior leads me O, the fullness of His love O, the sureness of His promise In the triumph of His blood And when my spirit clothed immortal Wings its flight to realms of day This my song through endless ages Jesus led me all the way Jesus led me all the way All the way my Savior leads me Claiming this over my walk today. No matter the craziness that classes bring, I know that each step is established by my God & my King. I am praying that for you today as well, whoever is reading this. Oh, and check out ...

So, I am about to go jump in the car with my suitemate, and go to the airport to pick up 4 Korean girls, two of which are our roommates. Words cannot even begin to describe the emotions going on right now! Really, they aren't doing my fluttering, anxious heart any justice. I'm excited, but also slightly nervous. I would really appreciate prayers about this new journey I'm taking this year. As you journeyed with me this summer, you know that I spent it living with girls and intentionally modelling the gospel to them. Nothing changes now that I'm sitting here in my dorm room versus my cottage. Yes, the faces change. I now will live with a Korean student. Wow. I never saw this coming. I banked on having the same roommate for 4 years. But oh how God directs our steps! And how we must learn to trust & follow. That is what I am hearing Him speak to me right now. Trust me. I know that He taught me a lot this summer to prepare me for this place, here and now...

I'm current find myself packing up to head back for my 3rd year at MC. That's really crazy to think about. I've been wanting to blog for quite some time (literally since I began studying through Romans a week and a half ago!), but have just been putting it off and putting if off. So, I'm trying to stop that horrible habit and begin anew today. So here it goes... Romans has had me learning a lot. And I mean a lot. I haven't studied through this book in awhile, and so I went into it kinda with the attitude of "I got this". Note to self, as well as to you....Don't approach the Word with that attitude. It really just doesn't work that way. His Word is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). Can we really expect to ever fully get it? No, because it is ALIVE. Not that it changes, but that the revelation of itself is different every time you read it. Just like looking at a sunrise or a sunset. It is never going to ...
