Aug. 6, 2008 - Don't Forget
You know...I realized today that I haven't changed the title of my blog in about two years. That's a really long time. I remember that when I first got this thing, the title would change on a weekly basis...ok sometimes a daily basis. Kudos to all of you who actually remember that too. But I was thinking about it today because one of my friends mentioned that with everything that's going on in my life I better start bracing myself. And I was brought back to the title of my blog. Bracing For Impact. I don't know why I really put it up there in the first place, and I'm sure that I have no idea why my creative mind didn't get sick of it and change it...but I like it. It's followed me around and it's meant different things to me in different seasons of my life. Right now, with how crazy everything is getting...it's a reminder.
See, I know God's doing some really big things, I mean after all, He is an extremely big God. The universe (which is immeasurable, btw), yeah the Bible says that God hold the universe in His HAND. The HAND of God is bigger than our IMMEASUREABLE universe.His hand.
I've noticed lately that sometimes I make God smaller than He is. For instance, when I feel stressed... when I feel like I can't do something...when I feel overwhelmed...when I feel like everything's right...when I feel like everything's wrong...when I feel like nothing can change the way I feel...when I feel like I've got it all under control...and I don't. God is bigger than the way I feel.
Just because I feel stressed doesn't mean God can't give me peace. Just because I feel like I can't do something doesn't mean that God doesn't want me to do it. Just because I feel overwhelmed doesn't mean God can't give me strength. Just because I feel like everything's right doesn't mean God's gonna leave me in my comfort zone. Just because I feel like everything's wrong doesn't mean God's plan isn't bigger than I can see.
I have a feeling that a LOT is going to happen in the next few weeks. I know God's moving. I've been talking with some different people about new things happening with my music. I've seen God open doors I never thought possible. Things are happening in my school and with my friends. I would ask you guys for prayer because a lot of us are under attack. See, when your a threat, the enemy doesn't like it. Well, he can deal. Because His best shot is nothing compared to MY GOD.
Because My God is bigger than how I feel. My God is bigger than what the enemy wants to throw at me. My God is bigger than opposition, He's bigger than stress, He's bigger than confusion, He's bigger than difficulty, He's bigger than hurt, He's bigger than loss, He's bigger than me.
So I brace for impact...but not in my strength. Because My God is bigger.
