A Long Overdue Post....

Well, its looks like its been seven month (to the day) since my last post. That's too long. A lot has happened since then... I got engaged, got my Aggie ring, got asked to the best man in my two best friend's weddings...craziness. It would take a while to catch up, so instead, I am going to talk about something I realized last night.

Yesterday, I realized the cyclical nature of our relationship with God. I was thinking and praying last night when I realized that all the things I was asking for were things that I hoped to use to glorify Him.

Best example I have for this is whenever you were little and you asked for money from your parents so you could get something for them for Christmas or their birthday or whatever. Now, your parents already had the money, but after you took what they gave you and gave it back (as some sort of cheesy present) it meant more to them than what they gave you.

I dunno if God is exactly like our parents, but I know He takes joy when we take the gifts and abilities He has given us, and use them to glorify Him. I just thought this was a great thing. That all that we have this is good is from God, and our purpose with the things God has given us is to turn around and glorify Him with those things. Great stuff.
