Temporary Amnesia
2 more days and I'm done with school for the year... finally. This has been the longest year of my life and I mean that in a literal and figuritve sense. I have my lab final tomorrow and my class final on Tuesday and then I can leave! It's gonna be great to leave here. I get to head up to Illinois for a few days and go to the wedding of two really amazing friends from high school. The day after the wedding I'm outta the midwest! It's bittersweet and I flip flop back and forth a lot. I'm going to miss my roommate, but since she's been here she's been super busy and I never see her anyways, but I'm paying rent here even while I'm gone, so that kinda stinks. I'll get to Arizona and spend some time with my fam, start working, and then life will be mundane once again and I'll want to come back here. I'm only going to be home for 2 months this summer because I'm singing and playing guitar in a wedding back here, so I need to treasure my time at home.I watched a sermon on tv this morning given by Pastor Steve DeNeff (the pastor at the church I go to here sometimes). He is amazing and actually very comparable to Pastor Scott, for those of you from home. He was talking about how you know for sure if you were saved and how one can even know it for sure. He talked a lot about our souls/spirits and the fact that they are alive, just like Christ is made alive through the Holy Spirit everyday. If you know Pastor Steve you know that he starts of and gives the main point, then he ges into a bunch of other stuff and some how manages to bring it all back full circle to the main point. You have to sit through a whole sermon to get the full effect, or it won't make much sense.
It was incredible though. It made so much sense and it seems like I've been searching for this for months. This is all stuff I knew in my head, but my heart needed a little outside reminder. I just wanted to share that with you because God is so amazing. I woke up this morning, way too early because I had all intentions of sleeping in, but for some reason I was wide awake and couldn't get back to sleep. So I went and flipped on the tv guide channel and saw that College Church was going to be on the IWU channel. I turned it on and it was as though there wasn't a tv in front of me, but like pastor Steve was speaking right to me. We've all probably had an experience like that, but it doesn't change the fact that it was amazing. What's more amazing is the lengths that the Lord goes to in order to make sure I hear Him.
I've been taught all of this since I came to know the Lord, but its almost like I get temporary amnesia and need reminding to bring it all back to me. Man, I must be getting old!
