Imagine God's Blogs

So, I just finished reading this incredible book-it's called God'sBlogs By Lanny Donoho.
Basically, it's a whole bunch of "blogs" from God's point of view. Ya know, Insights from HIS sight. hehe cheezyy but awesome
No, I know that God really didn't write the book but you forget that as you read it.

This book taught me a few things that blew my mind. (in a good way..) Here are some excerpts from the book.

1.Then toward the end of the week..I made My most amazing creation. It's amazing what God can do when He mixes some dirt and water and cells and then breathes some God-life into it.
It's the closest thing to ME I've ever created.

2. A lot of the stuff I've created is fairly complex. You try making the Northern Lights or the mysterious-but-miraculous human brain or maybe how the moon and gravity affect the tides.

3. Some of the most simple things often reveal my desire for splendor in your lives.
4.The only way to really get what you want is to give it up. (that rocked my world..confirmed what He's been teaching me..)

5. Anger is simply not getting what you want.
6. A thread makes its way through history, and you are tied to it.
7. Be aware of circumstances..they could be another chance to change the future of the universe.
8.Artists who are Christians have a better shot at changing the world than "Christian Artists"
9. I miss hearing the sound of your voice telling me what you're thinking about.
10. I watched some great expressions today. I watched as My Son started walking on water, I saw the best expressions when I looked at the boys in the boat.
11. So then what is faith...especially if it leaves when it's supposed to get cranked up?
It is more than knowledge of me...more than knowledge of my existance and my omnipotence It has to do with relationship. It must be nurtured and grown.
Sometimes you have to grow through the worst of life where you almost lose your faith in order for it to become real faith.
12.To reflect. That's why you were made. That is what fulfills.

those descriptions

shining from Me
V
bouncing off of you
V
into the lives of others.

13. look around, lighten up. I wanna see you laugh. and when you do, I'll be laughing with you.

14. Earthquakes,tsunamis,floods,9/11 Where is God in all of that?
I'm right in there in the middle. Working through my people. Giving all that is needed
"where are You when disaster hits?"
I'M ASKING YOU THE SAME QUESTION.

15.Here is your challenge.
Love deeper. Speak sweeter. Forgive. BE a friend. Get to know me.



That's all I can fit into one blog for right now.. there's so much more I learned.. Read it for yourself!! OMG it's amazing...
