AMAZING God

It always amazes me how great and powerful the God that created the universe and created us is. 
Today we heard a sermon on John 1: 1-5. What powerful verses these are!

• God is Logos (the Word),
• He has been since the beginning
• All is made through Him, and nothing is made without Him
• He is life- which is light
• Darkness shall not overcome (understand, overtake) light (which is life!)

What's more impressive and powerful than these verses is that God not only created all that is made, but He was incredibly creative, detailed, and loving when creating all that He made!
The video below reminded me of how little we are in comparison to all His creation... He is one AMAZING God!

The Awe Factor Of God - Francis Chan

Even more impressive, is that this SAME God

"... became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth" John 1:14

and even with all the wonderful glories He has made (as shown above), He has numbered the hairs on our head (Matt. 10:30)

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE AND LOVING GOD WE HAVE THE HONOR TO SERVE!!!

1 O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
2 Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established strength because of your foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
4 what is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?

5 Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings 

and crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under his feet,
7 all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

9 O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

-Psalm 8

Where is time going?!

It's crazy how fast time passes! Our baby BOY is already 27 weeks old, Bella is a year and a day old, and we've been on the East Coast for 2 whole months! C.R.A.Z.Y!!!!!!!!!
The past 2 months have been full of family time- which we both REALLY needed and are so thankful for. They have also been full of trusting God and His plan, whatever that may be....

On much more exciting news, Little One is kicking a ton. It feels like he's playing soccer, doing gymnastics and acrobatic acts all in my stomach and all at the same time! As much as that's extremely enjoyable and a reason to smile, i am fearing for my sanity once he's actually born. If he's this active now, i have a feeling there will be very little rest come October!
He continues to grow, and therefore, my belly has been growing a ton. i feel bigger every minute!

Belly this evening!

 

 

 

 

Thirteen weeks left until we can meet our little baby! CAN'T WAIT!!! Now we just need name ideas!! 

Tomorrow is my last day working at the summer school program. It has been such an adventurous month. 12 kindergarteners with a curriculum that asks them to keep an aquarium is definitely a recipe for hilarious questions and comments, dead fish and snails, interesting lesson plans, fun field trips and VERY smelly water! i will miss those kids so much! i can't believe how attached i get to kids even though i've only known them a month!
After tomorrow afternoon, we're back to the waiting game! I have an interview on Tuesday for a position here in Maryland. We'll see!!! Just praying for God's will!
