our GOD is greater....

And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against? 
And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against? 
What can stand against?



Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome in power
Our God, Our God… 


i love the lyrics to this song....we took a group of students to camp last week, and this was one of the songs we did a lot! i think it really describes GOD himself....so often we get caught up in our own strength, when really, we need to be relying fully on Him. 

i think as Christians we know that our GOD is greater, stronger, and higher than any other....but sometimes we just need to be reminded of that. 

GOD can do some amazing things if we just let Him....but being the humans we are, we tend to try to do thing our own way...and then when we fail once....or twice...or maybe even three or four times we will then turn to GOD for his help. 

why is it so hard for us to go to him first? we need to let our pride go, and realize that there isn't anything we can do on our own. if it weren't for GOD we wouldn't be here today....we wouldn't be able to take a single breath....

we serve an amazing GOD, so why is it so hard for us to make time for him?

so many times we all get so caught up in our lives that GOD just gets put on the back burner. 

its amazing to me the things i make time for (facebook, texting, or whatever else) and can't make time to sit down and just study God's word and pray....i've talked to so many people that say "oh i don't know where God is, i feel like He's just left me" when in reality God never leaves us....sure we'll chose to walk away from him, but he will NEVER walk away from us. 

a lot of times we only think of God when we need something....we should be going to God no matter what the situation. i know that many times i take what i have for granted....even just waking up in the morning, i go to sleep at night with the expectation that i'm going to get up in the morning and go throughout my day....i don't know why because it's not like we are promised tomorrow! i get in my car to drive somewhere and just expect to make it where i'm going....we need to be living every moment like it's our last....

ok onto life.

like i posted in my "quick update" i got into nursing school :) i start classes july 19th! 

i officially no longer have a job, i've put in many applications, but haven't gotten any positive feedback....or if i have it's not for the times i need....once i start school i will be in class 8-5 every day, so i really need a night job, but a lot of the places that have gotten back to me, they need a day person. i will continue to turn in application, and i am just trusting God that he has the right job out there for me.

these next couple weeks we have my sister in law and her boys (and friend, Kelly) here (Taylor [my older brother, her husband] is deployed right now....they live in Cali, so we really don't get to see them a lot, so it's nice that they get to come down and visit for more than just a week...) and then sometime this week my brother, Tim, and his wife and girls will be coming to stay for a bit, so it'll be great to see them all!! we hardly ever get to all be under one roof at the same time! 

so the rest of my summer will consist of job hunting, spending time with family and friends, going on a missions trip to St. Louis with our youth group, and starting school.

until next time....
