What if I stumble?
Hey kids its been awhile,
Like most of you i’ve been crazy busy the past month trying to get this whole school thing over with while working like a mad man. Spring football is finally over, My two hardest finals are done and I have a day off. Thus you have a new blog post that barely anyone will read. but thats ok because I like it that way.(no rhyming intended)
My first year of grad school is almost over. That feels weird to say. never did I ever think I would ever get into or even do well in grad school. I remember in undergrad my senior year just thinking if I just pass these classes with a C i can graduate and be done. C’s get degrees right? Now i’m stressing weather or not my GPA will drop below the 3.5 that I currently sit on because I might make another B in a class I should have gotten an A in. I’m getting inducted into my first and probably only honor society next week. This whole paragraph alone is just weird to read. God has blessed me so much this year. I’ve learned a lot and even though things weren’t always candy canes and gum drops he’s managed to show me his plan that seems to be so much better than the one I had thought up.
The summer job crisis has been thoroughly averted and I will be working with a new pool company as a pool manager closer to home for the same pay. If anyone lives in Legacy Park in Kennesaw come down and say Hi at the pool this summer. Spring ball went really well and I am looking forward to watching the GSU guys this fall. some of the players have grown and matured and have the potential to be great. If you are free on saturdays in the fall get in contact with me and come out to a game. I’ll get you a ticket.
Things are going pretty well. except i feel like something has been missing. Fortunately I know exactly what it is.
Today is Good friday. The day that most people start putting their spiritual posts and tweets and facebook statuses up. normally i would too but I have done something that I am not proud of and I’m going to just go ahead and admit it. I got way to busy to spend the time I need to with my creator. With football, work, school etc. I just lost sight of what is really important. I’m changing that today, this weekend we celebrate the greatest event in the history of mankind. God sending his son to pay for all the crappy things I’ve done. He bore my screw ups your dirty little secrets and every sin of every person that has or ever will exist. Have you thought about that? that pain can’t even be measured in human standards or words. But the best part is on sunday when we celebrate easter we celebrate Jesus resurrection. the coolest, awesome, best event in history. This isn’t something we should just celebrate once a year though… it should be daily. and well… i am pretty bad at that. So this is me making a commitment to change that.
Today I read an article about Kevin Durant and his daily bible study. this man is probably one of the busiest athletes in the country and he brings his bible to a press conference after a game. someone asked about it and he explained that back in march he committed to reading and studying daily in the word. If an all-star athlete way busier than me can make time for it then I definitely should be able to.
That all being said I have another confession. I’m not part of a sunday school class and I am looking for one. since football is done and i won’t be working sunday early afternoons anymore i really want to find a college and careers sunday school class. If anyone knows of a good one at FBCW or anywhere else for that matter I’ll be trying them out over the next few months. so give me a holler if you have a recommendation.
I hope all of you have a great Easter weekend with your families. Don’t forget Jesus and his sacrifice for every one of us.
Sincerely, me
P.s I am listening to DCtalks first album which is self titled. Lyrics appropriate for easter if you know Jesus:
Call us the heavenbound crew and you can be too
If you only knew what He did for you
Christ died, don’t ya see to set us free
Look in the Word unblurred, you can find the key
Gotta choice to be voiced, receive Him or not
Like right or left, cold on the spot
It seems kinda easy when ya break it down
As for me and my boys, we’re heavenbound
(bridge)
If you want eternal life
Choose my friend, He’s Jesus Christ
Only He can set you free
From your sin and misery
God has promised us a home in glory
Trust in Him
The trump will sound
And all God’s children are heavenbound
(repeat chorus)
Don’t look down, stand around
Keep on reachin’ for higher ground
Kinda profound, a trump will sound
And all God’s children are heavenbound
