The Blues...
The Blues really are the rythmn of my soul. It is just the beat of my thoughts. It is such a wonderful feeling to walk around the school with my head phones on and have this wonderful blues music dancing in my ears....(Count Basie is in the player at the moment) ahhh it is a beautiful thing. mmm.
Themes...
God has been working in themes with me lately. This weekend was our opening services called 'deeper life services' and one of the things that God was trying to get through to me was the whole idea and realization of suffering. It was a gentle message but very real at the same time. I have been reading this one novel since before christmas and I just finished it yesterday ( a wonderful feeling) and the whole theme at the end of the story was the fact that we have
HOPE in Jesus because he
suffered for us and therefore COMPLETELY understands our positions and sufferings. So when we have to face trials or sufferings in our lives we can rest in the knowledge that Jesus did as well. He looked at it straight on and did not choose to run but rather decided to trust His heavenly Father and walk through it....
As well In my mini semester class we watched a film called
To End All Wars and the whole message in the film was about the power of forgiveness in the light of horrible suffering. Just an incredably powerful film. The whole point of suffering mentioned about what the thing that God took home in my heart.
I think that God is trying to get that message through to me...it worked.
I really appreciate how creative God is at getting things through to us. I totally appreciate it.
mmm the Blues....it is making me very happy....sheer glee.
