Bible study numero uno

So, we had our first bible study tonight. It is called Essentials. And it is simply that, exploring the essentials of the Christian faith.

Well, so God is amazing. He continually goes above and beyond my expectations. Why do I try to limit Him? Its such a silly thing.
So many people came that there was not even enough room for chairs (one person ended up sitting on the floor).
The discussion was good. No it was great! People were so open and willing to discuss, wanting to talk about God. To hear what others had to say. To dive into what it means when we say God and realize that though we can never fully comprehend all of God, we can get to know Him better by exploring some of His characteristics. His goodness, justice, righteousness, that He is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, and soo very much more.
And then we sang worship songs afterwords til about 11 o'clock, when it became a just singing time.

It was really good, I am excited for what God has in store for us in the future. He has blessed me with my wonderful sister, who basically lead the study for us (since I am still trying to figure it out. I couldn't be more thankful!)

I even learned two cords on the guitar. I truly hope that I will be able to learn how to play at least a little bit this summer. And the piano!
I feel like there is so much I want to do this summer, and its simply too short. But its ok, I'll get done what I need to get done (after all God is the controller of time, if I don't get something done either I didn't need to do it, or I need to learn to use my time more wisely).
I have wonderful friends. Thank Lord for them! Thank You! Thank You! That they desire to talk about You, and push me to do the same.

Ah so many questions to someone that I cannot ask. You are merciful in that as well. Thank You for giving me guidance and self control. There is no way I could refrain simply on my own. And in due time I will know what I need to and won't what would not be helpful for me to know. You, Lord Jesus, are in control of that. You have time, knowledge, power, and love in Your hands. As long as I cling to You, follow You, worship and desire You above all else, the things of this world will work out the way You designed.

Lord, help me to realize Your plan is best, Your timing is best, You have a great plan for me. I will follow You Lord. I will trust You Lord. You alone are worthy of all glory! From You come blessing, honor, strength and power. Thank You creator for the blessings in my life.
You are good my dear savior and friend, all the time You are good.
With love, to Love. Amen.
