My what a hurricane this past week has been, from barney training, to snowboarding in tahoe for two days with my uncle and his family. Through all the crazyness of having 9 people in two hotel rooms, and keeping track of little kids on ski slopes, i realized something. I realized it when i got home tonight. The more we try and control what goes on in our lives, the more we try and organize it. The more it falls apart in our hands. like some of you im graduating this year, and i still have to to take two more big tests, one of which is this weekend. But tonight, as i think back and remember the things i've been reading, a few things stick out to me

first, on sunday, a couple've my siblings and i watched the movie "Knight and Day". In this, Roy Miller (tom cruise, the main action guy/protagonist) explains that without him, the "girl" in the movie would have a very low chance of survival. Our relaitonship with God is a little similar in that, without God, were dead. We cannot do anything on our own power cause we have none, every ounce of strength we have comes from Christ.

second, we have a God who is so focused on becomeing more intimate with us, who wants so bad to have us at his side, the He has, is, and will do Anything to draw you closer to Him.

Third, if we just accept this invitation to dine with our Lord, then the worries and anxieties will fall away. He will take them on to his shoulders, and carry them to the cross that they might be crucified with him.

All in all, With a God so bent on saving us, on getting to know us more, on taking our sins and mistakes and absolving them why not let our lives slip through are fingers. Why not let them fall to the floor, broken and shattered, only to be picked up by a loving, gracious, mercifully, pursuing savior.
