Walk 3

I 

am

extrememly

tired.

However,

I cannot start being lazy this early in the game.

So,

this is kind of a forced post.

I really am sorry.

Please forgive me.

I'll still love you if you'll still love me.

Yes? Okay? We're good?

Yay :)

The good things of today:

Anybody want a burrito?

• Going with Mom to get my new tags for my car.
• Taking Josh to some comic book store. Actually, I don't know if this is necessarily a good thing, but we'll count it anyways.
• Going to Aldi's and having Josh stuff around 10 frozen burritos in his jacket since we forgot bags.
•  Watching more of The Office on Netflix.

Dang it!

My list is still really really short! I even got out of the house today and thought I did something! I'm going to have to try harder. Unfortunately Josh, Joel, and Chloe go back to school tomorrow so I won't have anyone to annoy during the day. I'm still deciding if this is a perk or disadvantage to being in college. I'm seriously ready to go back to school though. I get bored WAY too easily. 

 

For clarification, Josh, Joel and Chloe are my younger siblings.

   

Today was Walk number three in the Daily Walk Bible. It was all about Noah, his ark, and the freaking ginormous flood that happened. 

I'm sorry. I just read it like half an hour ago, so I was really tired and just kinda read it. Which means, unfortunately, I have nothing insightful to say about today's reading. 

However,

I guess we can always pull the obvious point of Noah's faith. 

He had to trust God completely. Noah lived in a sinful generation, much like ours, yet he dared to be different. He chose to follow God, and for that he was rewarded by, you know, getting to live. 

I guess what amazes me out of this reading is Noah's faith and trust in God.

I don't know if I would have the utter trust in God to build a boat for 100 years, for an event that no one had ever seen before, all the while having people mock me.

Which is sad, 

because as Christians,

shouldn't we all have that kind of faith?

The faith of a child.

The faith like when we were little and our parents promised us something, how we always always always believed that they could never fail us.

It's sad how sin has corrupted us.

We can no longer have that simple faith in people that they'll do the right thing or never back down on their promises. People constantly disappoint and dishearten us.

But not God.

He never does.

He always keeps his promises,

just like He kept His promise to Noah.

Now we get to look into the sky and see His sign,

His promise to us.

The promise He hasn't broken yet and never will.

I wish the rest of life was like that.

That when things look stormy, dark, full of worry, and depressing,

that we could have a sign.

Then we would know that that person isn't going to hurt us,

or break their promise to us,

or let us down again.

And we could learn to trust everyone again.

Unfortunately, I don't believe that can ever happen with our world.

But,

it can happen with God.

Every stinkin' day of our lives.

And that's just plain awesome.

This year, I want to trust God more, because He's the only one who deserves our trust.
