Tumblr and other Occurrences

I will be posting the blog I posted on Tumblr today simply because I would like to interest you in a Journal that is longer than the last one.

As you may assume from the title of the particular journal I now have a tumblr in which you, If you feel compelled to do, follow me. If you do this act and let me know in the comments that you did so and link me your  tumber so that I am able to verify it, I would be more than happy to follow you back!

So without further ado...

Church was great today! In Sunday school (yes, we have a high school Sunday school class) was learned about Jainism and Zoroastrianism. It was very interesting, though, still confusing.

Our pastor's message today talked about Daniel and how God had displayed his power throughout his life. It's amazing how great God is. It stuck me how little I expect God to do sometimes.  I think often underestimate how much God is truly capable of. The things that I'm dealing with or hoping for that seem so large in my eyes are so simple to God. There's an easy fix for everything.

Still, sometimes we think because God is not acting that he is not powerful. This simply is not true. I have learned many times before that God's timing is always perfect. How he gets some things to occur when they do and in relation to what else is going on at the same time has shown me that God knows what he's doing. All of our lives are a brilliant canvases in which he uses to show the brilliance in the creation of his masterpiece. When God doesn't seem to act, it only means that he has something else planned. I'm sure you have heard the words of John N. Mitchell, "The finest steal has to go through the hottest fire." There also could be a blessing on the other side of your hardships that you could not receive without  enduring the trails.

It was interesting because last night (much like many other evenings) I was on Youtube looking up Christians videos and ended up coming upon the Onetimeblind channel. I'd seen videos from this channel many times before but there were a bunch of videos that came up that I hadn't watched before. One of these videos was www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DRO49… . I thought this fit in perfectly. I highly recommend watching it if you have the time. We have to wait through the rain to see the rainbow the same way we have to go through the hardships to see God's promise.

What did you learn or talk about at church today?
