So much to say... So many thoughts, so little clarity. So many questions, so few answers. So many dreams, so little action. So many doubts, so little faith. So many fears, so little trust. So much uncertainty, so little stability.
But God is much bigger than my thoughts, He is bigger than my fears, He is bigger than the struggles that I face throughout my years. He's much bigger than my doubts, much bigger than my dreams He is bigger than all my problems, so much bigger than they seem. He's got much better things in store for me this one thing I know for sure He is everything I'm looking for, He's this and so much more...
This is a powerful song, we sang it at Best 8 Days, we've also sung it at The Post at Southeast, but the point is... it's a good song... powerful lyrics that speak Truth into my soul and I hope it does the same for you:
How He Loves by John Mark Mcmillan He is jealous for me, Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree, Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy. When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory, And I realise just how beautiful You are, And how great Your affections are for me.
And oh, how He loves us so, Oh how He loves us, How He loves us all
We are His portion and He is our prize, Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes, If grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking. So Heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss, And my heart turns violently inside of my chest, I don’t have time to maintain these regrets, When I think about, the way…
Yeah, He loves us, Whoa! how He loves us, Whoa! how He loves us, Whoa! how He loves. Yeah, He loves us, Whoa! how He loves us, Whoa! how He loves us, Whoa! how He loves.
bullets make me feel freer to post because I don't feel the need to be a coherent writer with something important to say
spring is coming!
so is my birthday...
didn't i JUST TURN 25 last month? I mean really...
I don't know how in the world I am going to accomplish everything that must be accomplished between now and May 9...
what is May 9th you may ask? well, May 9 is the day that I will (hopefully) be graduating from the University of Louisville with a Master of Arts in English... but then there is that fear that I won't get everything done that must be done to accomplish that...
all of my course work!!!
my culminating project!!!!!! (25 page paper that goes through multiple revisions!)
and then, what if i do graduate but i don't get everything else done that needs to get done to have something to do in the fall!?!?
resume - need to revise it and figure out if i need a C.V. instead or with it to send to a bunch of Christian Colleges to see if they want to hire me to teach English in the fall...
phd programs???
finish applying for UK's doctoral program
apply for funding in the form of various Fellowships at UK
apply elsewhere???? Wake Forrest??? Somewhere near Cleveland???
This is a shameless plug for my Aunt Janice and Uncle Mike. They grow purple sweet potatoes in Stokes County in North Carolina! This article talks about it some. Their website is http://www.SauraPride.com and you should check it out. :)
Living for the glory of God. At least that's what I'm trying to do. I am a graduate student working on a Master of Arts in English. I like literature (especially by C. S. Lewis), movies, guitar, the whole Superman mythology (especially Smallville!) but mostly I love Jesus and I'm trying to reflect Him more every day.
