and i apologize. i always spell that wrong. it's only one p, not 2. anyway, i'm back at school now. thankfully the funds were provided, so that's something to praise the Lord about. i'm in my second semester of nursing school now, and it's going really well. tomorrow in my anatomy and physiology lab, we get to poke each other's fingers and find out what our blood types are. so that should be fun. and then thursday we're dissecting sheep hearts to look at the different parts of the heart. i'm starting to understand dr. liu better. he's my anatomy teacher, but he's chinese, so he's kind of hard to understand sometimes, but i'm getting used to it.
we had delta force tonight, which is a student led group of people who get together on monday nights on campus and pray specifically for missionaries. tonight dr. morales, the spanish teacher here at maranatha, came and presented a ministry in spain. it really spoke to my heart because i learned spanish in high school, and hearing him talk about all of the people who are catholic in spain, and how i know the language that could help minister to them was a challenge to my heart. i'm not planning on going to the mission field any time soon, but we'll see what the Lord has in store for me. they do a spanish speaking ministry at one of the churches here in town on wednesday nights, so i could possibly get involved in that if i wanted to.
but besides catching you all up on my life, i really wanted to post this song. we sang it in delta force tonight, and i've only heard it one time before, but it really spoke to my heart. it's called "Oh Great God". here goes..
O great God of highest heaven
Occupy my lowly heart
Own it all and reign supreme
Conquer every rebel power
Let no vice or sin remain
That resists Your holy war
You have loved and purchased me
Make me Yours forevermore
I was blinded by my sin
Had no ears to hear Your voice
Did not know Your love within
Had no taste for heaven’s joys
Then Your Spirit gave me life
Opened up Your Word to me
Through the gospel of Your Son
Gave me endless hope and peace
Help me now to live a life
That’s dependent on Your grace
Keep my heart and guard my soul
From the evils that I face
You are worthy to be praised
With my every thought and deed
O great God of highest heaven
Glorify Your Name through me
this is how i want to live my life. i want to learn how to depend more on God and less on myself. God is so amazing, and i don't realize it sometimes, but i really couldn't do anything without Him. we have no power compared to what our amazing God can do. He is my source of joy and peace, and i want to live my life so that it glorifies Him.
sorry this is such a long post. songs always tend to do that, but i really wanted to post this one. i hope it's a blessing to someone.
i'll try to update more as the week goes on. not sure how busy i'm gonna be, but we'll try. :]
Quote of the day- "there are people you meet who come and go, but only true friends leave footprints on your heart."
