I’m currently in the middle of enjoying a lovely Sunday!! I realized(ok, actually it was pointed out to me…) that I haven’t written anything in here in quite a while. Oops. Anyways, I’m still rocking out in Houston…and I think finally getting used to the “big-city” life! Well, at least I’m used to the traffic. The other morning I was driving to work and it seemed as if the floodgates of heaven were open…rain was just pouring down. I used to like rain, and I still do…but NOT when I’m driving to work along with a few million other people. Because then I’m late to work. Grr.

But in non-work news(or…sorta-work news), I’m coming back to Gainesville this week!! I’m coming for the career showcase to recruit for Cameron. Is that weird or what? Seriously, it’s going to be a little strange to be interviewing people that I sat in classes with. But I can’t wait to see people again!!! I’ve already got a breakfast planned with Rob…that will be so sweet. Finally we’ll get to really catch up and talk and encourage each other and just…yes. It’ll be sweet. Wait, did I already say that? No matters, it deserves to be said again.

And I’ll get to see Maryanne too!! It will be strange(but AWESOME) to chill with her at UF!! And of course, seeing everyone else(everyone being people that are still in Gainesville, that is) is going to be amazingly awesome. Ahh, how I do miss college times. Yet I have to say that I’m glad I’m in Houston, because I am indeed getting to know some cool people here too. And while I can’t quite say I call Houston my home…I can definitely say I’m content. Because God is with me. And He is good indeed.

And now I think I want to take a short Sunday nap(Huzzah!!), but first…

Preserve me, O God, for I take
refuge in You.
I said to the LORD, “You are
my Lord;
I have no good besides You.”
-Psalm 16:1-2

And now time to relax…enjoy the beauty of the LORD, y’all!!!

And I saw heaven opened, and
behold, a white horse, and He who sat
on it is called Faithful and True, and
in righteousness He judges and wages
war. His eyes are a flame of fire,
and on His head are many diadems;
and He has a name written on Him
which no one knows except Himself.
He is clothed with a robe dipped in
blood, and His name is called The
Word of God. And the armies which
are in heaven, clothed in fine linen,
white and clean, were following Him
on white horses. From His mouth
comes a sharp sword, so that with it He
may strike down the nations, and He
will rule them with a rod of iron; and
He treads the wine press of the fierce
wrath of God, the Almighty. And on
His robe and on His thigh He has a
name written, “KING OF KINGS,
AND LORD OF LORDS.”

-Revelation 19:11-16

I was walking to the gym after work today and a storm was coming. As I walked, I was singing to myself a song from my church in Tampa, a song directly from the verses I quoted above…and as I got to the part, “His name is called The Word of God…”, at that very moment, lightning flashed down in every direction around me…and the thunder built to a glorious crescendo, punctuating the beauty of the storm. I stood struck with awe. And I was reminded(why do we forget!!) of the power and righteousness and mercy and perfection and glory and holiness and love and justice and compassion of the Almighty.

How great is the LORD!!!!
