God awed me from the beginning of my day today to the end. I woke up and gazed out my window at a beautiful picture of the sun rising above the snow filled trees next to the creek in my backyard. As I was getting ready for the day I listened and sang along to worship music: today was going to be a good day. When I walked to the PRT station, I saw the snow glistening across the mountains kissed by the sun and I smiled to myself and thought, "God you are so beautiful." After my first class I couldn't help but feel defeated. I was stressed by all of the work and harsh realities of being a television journalism major. Then I went to ride the PRT back to my car so I could get my car inspected (oh yeah today happened to be the last day oops!) and of course the PRT was broken down. So I trekked to the bus stop where about 75 students were waiting on the bus and made my way on board. After returning to my car, I realized I was blocked in by two other cars who were parked illegally and had 15 minutes to get across town to my inspection appointment. Thankfully, one of my good guy friends was able to get me out while a girl friend of mine called the inspection place to let them know I'd be late. Oh and my gas tank was on E (oops again lol). Soooo, I go to get my car inspected and of course they try to rip a young college girl off, but my daddy talked them out of it so now I have the stupid orange sticker I need so I don't get pulled over! Now, this does seem like a bad day, but after it all I still feel like God is good. After a three hour Law class I finally got home to spend some sweet time with Jesus in front of the fireplace. God is so good that way. Even when we are at our lowest point, he calls us to rejoice in Him. I just felt a peace come over me while I layed with my blanket, bible, and ipod listening to God tell me how much He loves me, even when I have a bad day. He revealed this verse to me in 2 Timothy 2:11-13 it says "This is a trustworthy saying: If we die with him, we will also live with him. If we endure hardship, we will reign with him. If we deny him, he will deny us. If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny who he is." This just speaks wonders to my heart. Even when we have our worst day, Christ suffered so much more for us so that we could have life. It kind of makes me realize what James meant when he said "when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy." We should rejoice in the fact that we have a God that loves us so much and we can trust that He will be there through every trial, always. So, God awed my from the beginning of this day to the end and everything in between was just more proof to how much He loves me.
