Rush of Fools

The song "undo" by Rush of Fools has been a real encouragement to me lately, and this video was put to that song.

Christmas Break

In this time of resting and relaxation I thought it feels good to look back and recount the great things that God has done in the past semester. I feel especially indebted this year as I stepped into college, and all of the different challenges that brings. He has led me and blessed me although I have failed Him in innumerable ways. This has been probably one of my low points spiritually as I have focused on things and worldly desires far more than the blessings to be found in Christ. Yet, for some reason I dont know, He has blessed and comforted me as I struggle through my sin and trials. I am very grateful for His great blessing and love that has been shown to me this past semester. The semester brought some very different trials that I really wasnt prepared for. Educationally I have had to learn how to study a lot harder and actually spend energy learning.

God has really carried me through educationally and helped me although I dont deserve it by any means. In order to maintain a scholarship i have been receiveing I would have had to keep a "B" average. Sounds easy, but when I wasn't commiting myself, yet relying on my own ability I was coming short. Thankfully, He pushed me and showed me how to succeed through my parents and other students around me.

Physically, He has kept me very healthy this semester. Probably healthier than ever before.Once again, I have no idea why He has done this to me, and I really cant deserve it. But He has blessed. And now as I begin a new basketball season, I am in perfect health, and looking forward to a great season with a new team. A great opportunity, that wouldn't have been there without God's enabling grace. I am very thankful, and indebted. And I praise God for His work in my life. He has blessed through the storm, and through the calm. And I am very thankful. He is Indescribable.
