Size Matters...?

Steven Curtis Chapman once said after a visit to China, "...our eyes and hearts were opening to how big God really is, and we have wanted to experience more of that..." Lately, my God has been so small to me. What a shame it is to say, but it's true. Everything wrong in my life for the past few months has become such a burden on me, and like most people, I've wanted to keep it in my grasp and fix it by myself. God has other intentions, though. My God is too small to solve all of my problems, or maybe it's that my problems are too small for such a big God. How naive, right? How can I possibly thing that the Lord who created the universe is too small for any of my issues. It's completely mad. When Steven Curtis Chapman and his wife went to China to adopt one of their children, their eyes were open to a new world. God is so much bigger than most people give Him credit for, and that's terrible.

Well, in just the past couple of days, I've been able to experience just how big my Father actually is. Just by the people I surround myself with in my everyday life, I can see how God is at work in their lives, and how they're working in my life. Tonight I went TPing with Tori, Leah, Jessica, and Katie. We TP'd our new youth pastor and his family's house. It was so much fun, and it was great being able to spend time with such a great group of girls. Breanna joined us after we got caught, and we went to Sonic for a little while. It's a wonder how good you can feel when you surround yourself with other Christians, and girls who are on fire for God.

My God is a big, big God, and I'm dying to experience more of that.
Four days until Hume. I'm ready to get away. I'm ready to grow.
