God's promises & 24/7

June 24, 2002

dr. dennis had an interesting quote today: "when we learn to live in God's promises, we can survive any crisis, challenge or change" it's from some guy, but i don't remember who that person was. regardless, it's a very true statement. i was kinda thinking about what God's promises are during the past week, but not too much. cuz i know there's a lot of them, but i don't know them. and i think it's important for us to know them in our hearts. because whenever anything happens in our lives, we know the promises of God in our hearts. wouldn't that just change everything? i think so.

so maybe what i need to do this week, is kinda do my own Bible study on the promises of God :) that would be pretty cool.

we had a 24/7 practise tonight. it went somewhat late but it was my bad cuz i picked up sharon real late and all this stuff. aiya. i really have to be on time next week! we've got a good group of people for the worship team. i don't really know any of them "really well" except for sharon. it's more or less, your normal "hey, how's it going?" kind of conversations. hopefully that'll get deeper with time. cuz i honestly don't really know any of them very well and i'd like to. *shrugs* but this group is quite unique from our rebel worship guys. i can't really explain it, but it's different. and sometimes, for some reason, i compare the two groups. i have no idea why. maybe one of the things that is different is that we're all like from different places and don't know everyone all that well or something? or maybe it's cuz jon & ben are like the central leaders and they're like totally always thinking about the event and what have you. i think that's really cool.

to be honest, i don't have that same kind of 'drive' for the event we're planning to do. like i'm not like eating, sleeping, breathing "sufficient". it's on my mind, sure, but maybe it's just kind of a different thing here? *shrugs*

an aside, i've been thinking some more about worshipping God in everything that i do. man, is it ever hard to constantly be thinking about God all the time. but i want to. like the whole driving thing, sometimes i remember, sometimes i don't. worship is a call to the entirety of us, not just some on this day or some on that day. all of us for all of Him. that's what it all boils down to. man, i really want to just go after God this summer. know Him more through reading the OT and maybe some BOOKS. *gasp* yes i dare say books. i have tons. i should start reading em :)

anyhow, i'm sleepy. so that's that for tonight! g'nite :P
