This weekend was a very busy and crazy weekend. Our baseball team here at Southeastern volunteered to work the mens and women's soccer nationals along with women's volleyball nationals. I had to miss class on Friday and again on Monday. It was hectic to say the least. I was actually able to go to a church service Sunday night in Aburndale; it was a very good service! Very relaxed, but nothing was hidden. Sometimes is bugs me when the church has a hidden agenda; it just seems fake and planned, which it probably is.
I guess how I'm kind of relating this to class, is through the readings we did. We read out of Ezekiel; I don't quite remember the exact verse off the top of my head. It was a story about a man, who God was trying to show him how to go deeper in his relationship with him. He used a river to get his point across. The man said "Lord I want to go deeper", so god told him to step into the river. Soon the man's feet were submerged in the water. Then he said "but Lord I want to go deeper!", so God told him to walk out further into the river, soon enough the man was up to his knees in the river. I think you get the point by now, as to what God was teaching this man.
God in a sense is like the water, and once you "lay down" in the water in let it overflow your body, is when God can completely take control and use you to your maximum potential. I think its cool to see how God used circumstances like this in his "literature". I forget what they call it, I know there is a literary term for giving something life like qualities even though it isn't living. That might not make sense, but I'm trying to remember back to seventh grade English haha.
