And on the third day...


Dear Lord,

In all I do, please help me to put you first, but today of all days.  Because two days ago, you put the world first.  A sinful, undeserving world that jeered at you and cheered for your death.  If they had only known...  but it was meant to be.  You died for us and took the sins of that world and the sins of everyone who ever existed and will existed with you.   You, the man who never sinned a day in his life died so that we, the people that sin everyday, could live.  And now, today, a most glorious day, you came back from the dead.  Thank you for guiding me to accept this wonderful news into my heart.  Please help me to share it with others.  And again, help me to think of you today, in all I do.

Amen

It Isn't much


So I started out doing an decent job of writing once a week...and then school kept getting in the way.  To help with the resolution that I made nearly three and a half months ago, I think I should try posting smaller snippets of things (for lack of a better term).  Maybe, just an idea, or a poem I thought up, or a quote, or my thought's in that moment regardless of whether or not they have anything to do with anything.

Maybe I just need to sit myself down and write.   I am discovering (or maybe rediscovering) that, though my original intention with this post was to write that first paragraph and then stop so that I would have SOMETHING, the more I wrote, the more thought of things to write about.

My Youtube page isn't doing as well as I would have hoped (in my wildest dreams) but IS doing better than I expected.  And my prayers were answered yesterday when I was able to retrieve something that I thought was lost: a version of my final animation project.  I am continually amazed at how God answers prayers with a yes that, I'm pretty sure, aren't deserving of one.  I probably won't get around to posting it for a while but I am so relieved to have a copy of that.  It is a big stress off of my shoulders.

That's all I have for now other than the reminder that God is amazing and that He is there for me when I fall and even when I ignore the fact that I've fallen (something that I'm never proud of).  More on that later.  I should have gotten to bed a few hours ago.  I'm glad, though, that out of my foolish behavior, I was led to write.

Thankfully,

Yours In Writing
