another good day

terrible academically. but a good day nonetheless.

Talk with DR....who apparently reads my blog. I don't believe it. A long overdue conversation, to be honest, but better late than never for sure. It's so crazy how someone's freshmen year can shape them so strongly for the rest of their college years (and maybe life? I don't know. We'll see I guess).

It's strange to think that everyone is a sinner. Not one person is without sin. The most "holy" person you know probably needs your support more than you could imagine. I bet every Christian has thought about giving up their faith at one point. I bet every pastor in seminary as questioned why they're there. Every worship leader has "gone through the motions" with a song and every small group leader has gone through a passage they don't have a heart for or maybe don't even understand. Yes, I don't think it's a good thing to do these things, but at the same time, I find the inevitable. We're not "godly." We're not God. I sin like no other. Yet I speak praises with my mouth, raise my hand in worship.

That's the beauty of grace, and our leaders need grace just as much as we do.

Chat with PL. Should I do family group leading and worship? Part of me tells me that I won't have enough time with OS and Discrete, but a strong part of me knows I'll miss drumming so much. As I was telling PL, there's that moment during worship when suddenly you realize that you're exactly where you need to be. Your sticks suddenly just feel like they're extensions of your arms, and you just let go and praise Him. (Sidenote, so thankful for Franky for showing me that simple beat on that beautiful Friday night ...6 years ago.)

AAIV, it's strange how fond of you I've grown. Good night.

Prayer request: that my computer gets fixed...using lab computer now.

edit:
Another thought. I wrote about maybe a week ago about how the Christian life is about a life that already has success (or as the Focus speaker said, a life of victory). My blog is called "the fight." Contradictory...?
