Thankful

Ah gospel rap…

There will be slightly less rigorous theological inquiry in this post. I just want to express how thankful I am. As of now, I’m basically settled in my apartment at divinity school with my pretty cool roommate and I am seeing God work literally my wildest dreams to fruition. My best friend, whom I’ve been best friends with since the sandbox (read: 4th grade), is starting up at the medical school affiliated with my university and we’ve already planned to hang out all the time. Admission to this school was a blessing and further financial aid was an even greater blessing, but I see now that this was all part of a master plan that, apparently, God has set into motion to work through me. It is my hope and my prayer that I can continue to merely be a vessel of His awesome power. This is why these gospel rap lyrics came to mind. This is, of course, not to say that I’ve had some life-changing vision of Christ that exploded my existence, but my revelation of Christ, His work, His Spirit, and His Father has been a progressive one and it still continues to amaze me. Surely three more years of rigorous academic instruction and an integrated worship life will strengthen my bond with my Creator. I thank the Lord and I look forward to it.
