Alright people. here it goes.
I am once again attempting to get out of Bible for an independent study so that I can spend my last semester in worship team. I have my doubts about this goal being accomplished, since last try didnt go so well, but it doesnt matter I am going to try. I have already discussed last blog how much I learn in Bible class, no need to reiterate.
I got my queen sized bed, so I am quite excited for my first night of rest in it. I plan on waking up in the morning and saying, "Ill miss you, you were wonderful last night. I didnt want it to end!" Thank you, Jim Gaffigan for those wonderful quotes. I probably took it dirty though, huh?
I thoroughly enjoyed the new Lonely Island song, "The Creep" on SNL last night. It had been far too long since they had a good song on there. And I learned a new dance move haha.
I played guitar at Intersect tonight, and it was pretty good I guess, even if I didnt play my best. I thought Andrew did a good job leading, and yeah, overall I think it went well even if some of the audience was gome for the toby mac concert.
Basketball, what is there to be said. Duke looked trbl today and got killed, liberty is now 6-3 in league but we barely got those last two wins, stephen curry has been a beast recently, and so has Kevin Durant.
As for my basketball, I have been shooting more, which is fun. I was also inspired by the more physical play of d3 ball, so I am attempting to increase the intensity of my ballhandling. It seems to be working so far, and it gets me more tired than normal, so that is always fine with me so that I know I'm improving. My desire to improve at bball was stoked by that d3 game a little bit, so I always love that fresh drive to get better.
I really liked the sermon today at Bethel. It was about Moses and the burning bush, and how God called this seemingly random, itty bitty man like Moses(to quote the W's). However, over Moses life God had given him abilities and situations that equipped him to do God's work. So the point was the God can use everyone to build his Kingdom, so what has he equipped you with and how can you use that for him.What situations in life have you had that God can use to shape you and help others? Yes, I did think of my knee problems yet how God has given me some athletic ability and drive to overcome it. Which once again brings me to that verse I used in my Strength in Weakness post. I am baffled by that verse every time I read, and I dont quite know just why it continues to amaze me so much. It's pretty incredible that God can use our weaknesses to show His glory and strength, and that His grace is sufficient for us, but Id already heard all of this and this passage still blows me away. I am convinced that God will use my weaknesses for His strength, I dont know how or when, but I am kind of excited, even if I dont know what He did til I get to talk to Him face to face.
I was reminded before the prep game of how minuscule my problems are compared to others. I tend to think that I have been quite a bit of trauma, but then I realize that no one around me has really ever died, or had horrible cancer, or something like that. A kid in Asotin died of brain cancer on Friday(I believe that was the day), and it was kind of a brutal reminder of how privileged most of us are. Heck, all I have to do is sit out of playing basketball for 9 months and this kid is on his deathbed? That's crazy, and selfish on my part for thinking about my petty problems as the center of the universe. I am keeping that family, the Asotin community in my prayers, and I also pray that he is in heaven. So keep them in your prayers and remember that we are blessed.
That's all I want to say tonight.
