Well, I got kind of busy so I forgot about my blog. Let's see, this week we are learning about the Father Heart of God (God's love as the Father), and it is AWESOME! The speaker, Ron Smith has spoken twice and had everyone crying both times. He is such a sincere, soft spoken person and is a joy to listen to. He has way exceeded my expectations on this topic.
It amazes me how much God loves us. Today, Ron Smith used the best illustration of how much He does. He said he once had a dream where his friend was about to get hit by a bus, and God asked him if he loved his friend enough to throw himself in front of the bus to save him. To that, we think "Hmmm, I don't know. I might, but I have never been in that situation."
Then the scenario changed, the bus was about to hit his friend again, but this time his daughter was there and he was asked if he loved his friend enough to throw HER in front of the bus to save his friend. To that he said "Absolutely not! There is no one I would sacrifice my daughter for!"
But that's just it, God loved us so much that He threw His son in front of that bus to save us. That to me was a very powerful illustration of God's love. Meditate on that.
As for life here, it progresses as normal. School, friends, God, good times. No complaints :)
