tuesday!

so today wasn't such a great day for me... i woke up and randomly remembered that i forgot to blog before sunday! yay! go me!  so i head to class around 11 and our freshmen experience group went to the cafe and ate.  so i got to sociology afterwards and i LOVE that class, but we have test on the internet and i went on there today and found out that the computer did not ready my test answers soo i have a zero for two of my grades. grrrrr.  after become furious with that i go to bible class.  i caught myself getting angry because my teacher constantly talks and  expects us to write notes the whole time.  after my lame day i come back to my room and hang out and God just really spoke to me through this song.  its called (*fin) by anberlin.

   

this part of the song just totally spoke to me.

We're not questioning God
Just those he chose to carry on his cause
We'll grow better, you'll see
Just all of us, the lost causes

i asked myself what that meant.  and i still cant fully grasp what it means, but i think i know what it means.  

I am a follower of God and they say right there.. we're not questioning God just those he chose to carry on his cause.

and as i sat in my room being angry about school and classes and ect.. it hit me.. those who chose to carry on God cause are going to be question and pushed harder.  

to me it makes sense.. in my brain it makes sense to ME.  to everyone else?  i dont know if this makes sense and if it does that sweetness and if not... then dang.. i wish i could make it more clear...

thanks! peace love!

introduction

hey! My name is nathan and I attend MC. If you are reading this I am pretty sure you are a Student at MC too.

well I'm from Brandon, Mississippi and I go to church at Crossgates Baptist in brandon. I was saved by my Lord and savior around my tenth grade year of highschool and ever since i have been walking strong with God. He's pretty much awesome.
Since i've started following the Lord he has gifted me with so much that its amazing. I have been playing guitar for 3 or 4 years and have led worship in my church since my senior year of highschool. God has given me a voice to use and the ability to play a guitar. I plan on joining our new college worship band that we will be creating pretty soon actually. Crossgates Baptist will start having college study above the cafeteria on monday nights.. I dont know the exact times yet, but ill be sure to let you all know.

What i want to acheive through this blog is not to just tell everyone about all my drama and what i am doing in my life, but what GOD is doing in my life. I want everyone to read this and be encouraged in some form.

my major actually right now is Business, but I am going into the ministry. I pray that God will direct me in the right place to serve, but there are not gaurantees. I WANT to be a worship leader or maybe a youth Pastor, but it's not what i want.. it's what God wants.

Romans 14:23 "...anything that is not of faith is sin."
-
- i leave with that verse as an encouragement....how do we live by faith? James 1:22 says "Do not merely LISTEN to the Word, but DO what it says"
notice the bolded words... we are not to just listen to the word and just go about our lives, but actually do what it says.. thats how we live by faith.

Thank you and God Bless
