life to the full

God is amazing. The stress is over, 4 midterms are down. It's Saturday morning and nice and stormy. The God is great, and has given me a life to the full. Coming out of the difficult weeks is awesome because we turn out that much stronger. White is so much whiter and more vibrant on black because of the stark contrast. Same with life. Last week was disgusting and today is beautiful, therefore today is so much more epic! Tomorrow we're going to have an awesome church service on campus because God is behind it, He is fueling it. Yesterday Sam, Jack, Joe, Azzie and I went over by the dorms and invited a grip of people to our church service. It was so awesome! we were all on fire! I'm super grateful for the time we got to have and they each inspired me in different ways. Then I got to go to my brother's basketball game, saw him make 4 points for the team! and though they lost it was still cool to be there cheering him on :). My brother is currently sleeping (or trying to sleep) on the couch at my house because in 2 hours we will be at SDSU getting ready to cheer the Aztecs to a mighty victory against BYU! It's going to be such an epic game, students waited in line since 6AM Wednesday morning! And my dad got there at 4AM monday to get us 2 awesome tickets :). It's going to be so fun I'm totally looking forward to it. I've also been thinking a grip (possibly too much) about Lisa. She loved the poem I sent her for valentines day, and I really admire her. They are starting a series on prayer and have such an awesome goal for this semester to reach out to 20 people every day this next week :).
Right now I'm reading Galatians 1 in my year bible and it's so gnarly the language Paul uses when addressing the fact that there's only ONE good news, only ONE gospel, only ONE and all others are false with such strong language in the NIV:

I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called youy by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel--which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!
Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
(Galatians 1:6-10)

I love Paul's strictness here, he's so stern, and has no care about what other people think about him! Even today I live life trying to please men, and I no longer want to do that, I need to get more radical, i need to be a true servant of Christ, I need to strive to win the approval of GOD, NOT MEN!

Father in heaven,
You are SO great. I admire you beyond belief. You are majestic, perfect, and praiseworthy.
I love the way you do what you do all the time you are such a mighty Lord and savior. Please help me to step my own game up and strive for perfection everyday. Lord you fill me with a deep joy that is unlike any joy possible without you. You fill me with faith, showing yourself to me throughout the day, thank you for whispering to me, thank you for leading me to where I need to be. Lord I glorify you to the best of my ability because you are so grand and you have granted me a faith that can move mountains, I can bend bronze, I can change souls, your word pierces to the heart. Thanks for giving me such easy tools to work with like your word to change this dying world. You have saved me, helped me , challenged me, and I am strong and will continue to grow everyday because of you. Lord I love you, thanks for giving us victory already. Thanks for all the visitors that you're bringing to church tomorrow, thanks for all the people who will get up on stage and do an amazing job representing you. Lord thanks for life, thanks for love, thanks for everything you've done and are doing for us. I love you like crazy, you are the only God. I am so grateful for Lisa, please continue to bless her, you fill her with joy and security and peace. You are the one that makes our relationship possible, and refreshing everytime we communicate. You are the one that gives both of us confidence and joy everyday. I love you lord you are mighty.
