wow this is good... i can keep this up... I do a bit of a comment every few months.
Well we are two months down the track from when I got released from Prac. I am now reinstated in my course (yes I got dumped but hey... all part of being cut from prac) and continuing as per normal. I just have to repeat my prac altho i did an FPD (for those not up with the jargon that's a Forward Planning Document which basically has a plan of lessons for a specific purpose whether it is for a certain subject or the plan for the term etc) which I got an HD for (for the uninitiated, that's a High Distinction >80% XD)... that I now will not be getting.
Yess... that was quite a downer really. But i'll live...
Oh yeah before I forget, Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there. My dad's the greatest so you can all just fight for second possie ;) Hehe well he's the greatest dad in my eyes... and since that's MY opinion, it's ALL GOOD!!! YESSSSSSSSSSS *Napoleon Dynamite style*
Fabuloso... Nick spoke this morning about Dads and in particular the faithfulness of our Father who is there with us all the time. He reminded us about the poem "Footprints", 'which I'm sure many of you have seen before on someone's fridge' (that prompted laughter from the congregation) that basically is about a guy looking back over his life and seeing two sets of footprints. During the hardest and darkest times, he sees only one set so he questions God on why He broke His promise-
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Matt 28:20
God replied, "My son, I have always been there with you every step of the way. When you see only one set of footprints, it is then that I carried you."
That really challenged me- when I feel so far away from God, He is closer than He has ever been, holding me in His arms and taking my burdens onto His shoulders. He has already done it. He chose to do it. He didn't have to but as a Father, He chose to send His only son to die on a cross SO THAT we, sinners, worthless, unfaithful, unstable people could be saved and adopted into His family. That we may live forever in eternity with Him.
Why He did it I will never fully comprehend. Why He would bother with such a worthless being like me, I will never understand. Why He chose to go through so much pain and hurt, when we were the ones that got ourselves into it, I struggle to fathom.
But that He did it and chose to go through with it, I am forever grateful. Words don't do justice to it but He sees the heart and that is enough.
Til next time, GB
