old house, new house, red house, blue house

Today I was hit by the enormity of my God. So good. ALWAYS. Bigger than everything. He knows it all. He cares about every little thing. He reigns in sovereignty above everything.

I woke up early-ish this morning... and franticly got ready for church. I was up earlier than I wanted to be up... but not early enough to have much time to get to church on time. Haha. I was on powerpoint duty this morning and thoroughly enjoyed it. Because I have to make sure that the words are right and the verses are in the right order I have to pay a lot more attention than I normally do. Most of the time I just have the words to the songs memorized and never look at the screen.... so I have found that it is better if I don't sing along so that I pay more attention to my duties. So this morning I really enjoyed just listening and watching the congregation worship.

There is so much variety within the church. There is this one elderly couple that I adore. And they were worshiping their little hearts out, with arms raised and white haired heads swaying back and forth. I always want to keep falling more in love with God. There is always more for me to learn. And then there are also the kids... they have all the words to the songs memorized and are singing there adorable little hearts out as well. I sat there in awe of the body of Christ together.

Then my pastor was up and sharing his heart. Pouring out his heart to the congregation. He sang us this song he wrote and it just brought me to tears. I sat there weeping. Life is so unpredictable... and so far I have mostly seen good things in my own life... but there are tough times... but if there is anything I need to know its this: God is always good and He cares about every detail. Part of his song went something like "I have splinters in my arms from clinging to the cross" Oh such powerful words. Although, I am where I am not because I have continued to hold onto Jesus, but because he has never let go of me. Even when I screw up, He is holding onto me.

As for the rest of life... its going pretty good. Some times its confusing, but its good. I am back home, and thats good. Next week I will be house sitting my own home. Haha. Oh the house sitting never ends. And next week I am also starting to my new job. And old friends are coming home and new friends are moving here. So, SO good. I am happy about life... even when it doesn't make sense to me!
