Okay all....I've been absolutely horrible about my faith blog these past few months....I've gotten so caught up in being busy that I've just not made the time to write.....Hopefully this will be a change. On that note I hope you are all doing well . I just got done with the opera production of Street Scene. I had a blast, despite the frustrations that always go with putting on a production. Life has been ridiculously busy these past few months, but I have had several amazing moments along the way. God truly does answer prayer. He knows what is best for you and when to give them to you. He is sovereign and is in charge of all. ......
I have been doing the BEST Bible study this semester with my friends at the Lutheran Center, it's called The Truth Project. IT IS FABULOUS!!!! I know that this study has been out for a few years now, but I've never had the opportunity to be in a small group that has done the study. Tonight's lesson was about History. It asked about whose story it was. It just puts things in such a wonderful perspective, as all the lessons do. Sometimes we get so caught up in our own life stories that we forget that the story that truly matters is the larger story, God's story. And we get to play an important role in it if we let God have control. That's a rather awkward statement, because we honestly do not have control over a single thing, and we just get frustrated the more we discover the truth about that fact. It reminds me of one of my favorite lines from the opera, Dialogue of the Carmelites, that I performed in my sophomore year. The dying mother superior is talking with one of her newest addition to the convent, Blanche. She tells Blanche to always remain plyable in God's hands because her life is much safer in God's hands than in her own. What wise words, and such truth shines from them. How comforting to know that God is always in control and that everything is according to his purpose and story plot, if you will. Lately I haven't been the best about keeping up with my own Bible study outside of my group Bible study. I have a hard time finding a study that I can enjoy and keep up with for my own use. So I decided that I'm just going to read the Bible in order from start to finish and read along in my study Bible with the notes below. No matter how many times we've read the Scriptures, it is so important to revisit those passages. Sometimes we find more meaning in them during different stages of our lives and the situations we go through. Obviously still in Genesis, cause it's a really LONG book! Whew! But God has shown me new things every night as I read His Story before I go to bed.
Speaking of which, I need to head to bed and do my reading for tonight, before it gets too much later. I want to start a new part of my faith blogs, I want to add prayer requests to it as well. I first and foremost would love to have you comment on the entry and add your own prayer requests in the comments. I will also include my personal prayer requests in my entry....think of it as a prayer chain! I hope that all of you are well and God Bless until my next entry!
