I know, I know, I am tired of talking about my ACL all the time, too. But I will be honest, this week was incredibly stressful for me and basketball. I watched Liberty get beat twice, 1 to a team we should have destroyed and have destroyed in years past, and another to a pretty good team where I would have loved to help. This left me utterly disappointed and angry. Then I came home last night and picked up my Bible. I am currently reading 2 Corinthians, and will finish it tonight. I came to this passage and could not believe that I hadnt picked up on it before. I am sure I have read it before. I have heard "your grace is sufficient for me" since the song Jehovah Jirah I am not at all saying that me playing would have made me conceited, because I am just that good. I am not, that is not my point.
Look at it. Chew on it. Each time I read that passage I think of a new point in there. God's power is made perfect in weakness. His grace is sufficient. So no matter if I get injured, He is enough, why would anything else matter? Paul boasts in his weaknesses, because the Lord's work can be shown through weakness? It's so incredibly mindblowing that this passage is hard for me to unpack in writing. I do not ever plan on getting a tattoo, but for real, if I had to get one, it might have to be those red letters. Talk about a great daily reminder. I'm sorry, I was planning on writing something super insightful on that passage, but I really cant but it any better than Paul. I am just blown away by the meaning in that verse right now, i think even moreso than last night. I cant wrap my mind around how amazing God and His grace are. 2 Corinthians is a sweet book, read it.
Alright off of that, I have finals this week. I have a lab to do, a Bible paper to write, Physics studying, and some interpersonal communications. I really wish I could write something more insightful on Bible, but I have to basically cover everything we have already mentioned this semester. Physics and the lab arent too bad, I like that class because it makes some pretty good sense usually. Interpersonal communications has its ups and downs, but its not too bad. I am glad that I dont have the other teacher, because I like reading the book more and doing group work every day more than writing a journal everyday about my feelings and how I deal with them.
Music now. I laid out a decent list of songs that I think would make a solid album. So each song needs some workshopping, some more than others. I would like to record next CBC quarter, because I wont be taking any classes, but I also want to get some sort of job, so we will see how that all plays out.
The Black Keys performed on SNL last week with Jim Carrey, and now I really like them. I have liked a lot of their songs in movies, I just never knew who it was. I will probably invest in some music of theirs soon.
I co-lead music today for grades 1-5 at Bethel today. I say co lead because though I sung and played guitar, that girl Becka did a lot more talking to kids than me. Surprise. The 4-5 graders were more unenergetic than I am naturally, yet wanted to talk a lot, so they got a nice lecture about being respectful and worshipping. AWKWARD. I wasnt even a troublemaker as a kid, but I always got mad when people would give lectures like that, so I know it doesnt help people worship, but this time I was the one up front. While Becka and Terry lectured, I stood there awkwardly waiting to play. I guess it happens, whatever. I understand why those lectures are given, but it still bothers me. Of course, when people treat me like that, I usually just revert to ridiculing them into realizing how ridiculous they are, so maybe the lecture is a more "Christian" approach. I dont know, it for sure gets me in less trouble than ridiculing.
Other than that, I thought the sets went well, we were much more in sync than last week. And dont get me wrong, I am very thankful that Becka can talk to the kids, because I sure am not good at it. Being energetic? Hahahahahahahahahhaha.... Okay this blog is done, I'm sorry Blogger is erroring thats why that one bit is black
