Faith

Oh, if I had the words and the time to even begin to tell of the things going on lately! God is good! This goes without saying; however, it is such a good thing to say and know. Life as a Christian is never boring unless you are not walking close to God. Even when the Lord draws you back to Himself, you feel like your like is rushing with excitement. God is teaching me what a wonderful thing it is when He breaks shaky parts in your life to make you more confident in Him by faith and consistent in your pursuit of Him. Although He sovereignly chooses to use close circumstances to draw you closer to Him and even “hurt” you, He always does it in love. He somehow provides the most effective parts of Scripture to direct you and show you His path for you even though you may think that you know where you are going. When you reach the basics again, you begin to realize that you never were in control in the first place. God tells us to walk by faith. You ask Him for faith. He gives it, but you may not be able to learn by watching because you learn when you are tested. The process is trying and sometimes tiring, but wonderful. Is it not wonderful how no matter how bad you are feeling, you can still feel the hand of God in all of it? This, like many of my other writings, may seem to be very random and scattered; but know that God is still on the throne and will remain so por los siglos! (Oops! Sometimes I think Spanish sounds better. Oh well) He is good! He is very good! I am nothing of myself, but am so great in the eyes of God because of Jesus Christ! What an undeserved and unearned position. May God be praised!

Gmail is totally wicked!

I suppose that when I write, I do not have to necessarily always have to be deep and intricate parts of my life. Right now, I’m just thrilled at the new features in Gmail. They are very cool! In my honest opinion, I think that everyone should have a Gmail account. If you want an invitation to get an account, let me know. I’d be glad to help you out. The newest feature that is rolling out is that you can actually “IM” inside your internet browser window. Some people will probably object saying that there is no sense because then you have to stay on your email if you want to chat. Well, it was not made to necessarily made to use as an IM system, but merely a method for emailing quicker. Why email someone if you actually can see them online? Well, just the newest great advancement in the business of email. TTYL.
