Lather, Rinse, Repeat as Needed

One Real Thing

I'm noticing that it becomes increasingly easy over a very short time, even a month, to fall out of amazement of the love of God.  He has provided all [good and 'bad']things, and I often forget.

You are the One Real Thing 
You are the One True Thing that I know 
You are the One Real Thing 
No matter what the future brings 
You're the One Real Thing 

Stay, locked within Your presence 
Truth, renew in my mind again 
Rest, cuz I know You're faithful and I 
Trust, cuz I know Your name

Its good to know that in a world that clings to worldly things, I don't have to.  It's encouraging to know that a God who never changes is my constant.  He's totally powerful, and completely against my sin.  So I suppose I should be afraid, and rightfully so.  But what a loving God he is, to even create a fix.

If I could only remember it every minute, with out the struggle... 

It's greek... run away!

Well I had a horrible thought this past week as I sat in the breezeway by eagles nest; I'm a 'Talbot guy'.  The stereotype, like it or not will now follow me around campus.  oye.

On the upside I'm really excited to be back in school.  I missed it.  And I hope that I can excel, as well as, or better than in my undergrad.  I'm excited to see how God shapes me through this time, and how he leads me closer to him.  I look forward to learning how to preach God's word better, and to be able to shape my education into something that I can use in a practical way.

No one told me
The right way
The right way to go about this
So I'll figure it out for myself
Cause how much
Is too much
To give you
Well I may never know
So I'll just give until there's nothing else

Yeah I'll give give give (until there's nothing else)
Give my all (until it all runs out)
Give give (and I'll have no regrets)
I'll give until there's nothing left
I'll give

So all that to say, I'm in Greek, and Theology III.  go team

The day I must have slept through class

They never told me in school that:

"poking someone's eye out" was wrong.  I suppose the phrase comes to mind: "its all fun and games until someone pokes their eye out"... and perhaps tells me not to do it, right?  But noooooo, I'm a stubborn person.  I didnt learn.

On the upside his eye is going to be just fine, and the RockBand drumstick that he got poked with is still in perfect working order.

Life is fun, and God is interesting, how he plans stuff like this.

Go team!

I'm starting to get excited about this fall at Compass Bible.  I think it will be a great time to see the tech team expand and grow, and I'm also excited to see the refuge begin its on campus ministry at saddleback college.  I have a huge desire to see Compass make a impact on our community.

It's looking like the past year (that's right, this weekend is my one year anniversary for being at Compass Bible Church!!!) has been a time where I have grown into the church, and begun to branch out to others who I might not otherwise know.  I will admit it has been good being on staff, because it has forced me to interact with so many different people.  I don't think I would have had this chance if I was just a grad student.

Your restless heart won't win 'cause you take but you don't give
And you'll keep moving on until you learn what love is

Don't give up on love and throw it all away
Don't give up on love and let it fall away
Don't give up on love
