Just wanted to share a verse that I came across by accident last night. I was flipping through my bible and came to Job and stopped on this verse I had highlighted some time ago.
"In the past you have encouraged many a troubled soul to trust in God; you have supported those who were weak. Your words have strengthed the fallen; you steadied those who wavered. But now when trouble strikes, you faint and are broken. Does your reverence for God give you no confidence? Shouldn't you believe God will care for those who are upright?"
Job 4:3-6
It was an encouragement to me that God does bring people to take care of you in your times of trial and people who will help pick you up.

Down Toward Healing
I've been meaning to post here for a couple weeks now. I've had things to say but no structure to what I was saying. So here I am, not with really anything profound but just some thoughts of late.
I've started a project called Something Beautiful. It's an open forum expression of creativity. The reason the whole literal six day creation bugs me is because I feel it dismisses the idea of God the creator. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Gen 1:1). The idea of creation makes me believe he took time and alot of thought in the shaping, the molding, the inner workings of the world we live in. How things would adapt and evolve. So I'm working a website and some other things to showcase art work, film, photography, poems, music, whatever. Things that represent that creative spirit God has place in us.
The other things hitting home is how much God loves us and takes care of us. April was a month of great joy and excitement for me but it was also the hardest month of my life where I had to look toward God and cling to his promise to take of me. And everytime I came to God asking him for help he came through. It's really exciting to see God answer prayers and bring miracles into my life as I needed them. God brought the right people around me to pray for me or give me a word of encouragement when I need it.
I read a book a couple weekends ago called In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day by Mark Batterson (Pastor at National Community Church, where I attend). It seemed like everything Mark was writing was a reenforcement of what God wanted to do in my life and where he was taking me.
I'm looking forward to this summer and Something Beautiful starting up and a couple other cool things. I'm excited. Get Excited!
