finals week

so last night was broomball. it was basically amazing. 70 or so people in a pizza pallor, where we were supposed to have the patio, but it was pouring rain. students found a fake mustache dispenser, which was amazing, of course i had one and wore it all night. then we headed to the rink, had a 35 on 35 game of Broomball with two balls going. it was a blast. it was so much fun just to hang out and connect with students and pretty much dominate the ice with my defensive skills.

i loaded up all of the announcement videos to SHIFT students facebook today. there are few, but there are more to come, this i do promise. if you want to check out the CCV SHIFT students facebook here is the link (click here and here if you want to watch the videos i made). its just getting started so keep an eye out.

today i went into service at CCV with my Dad. Jeff Vines began a series on spiritual winters. which i thought was pretty amazing that he would talk about it, i don't know if its just me, but it seems a lot churches wouldn't want to talk about not feeling God, and if God is hiding and you are not able to find Him. but we began reading JOB.

after i came home, i read the beginning of Job over and over (Job 1:1-11), and i could not get the question out of my head, "what is our love for God based on?" Job, as you can read, is blessed by God. he is wealthy, he has a great family, and he even does sacrifices for his children, just in case they sinned that day. and Satan comes in and says that the only reason that Job is an honorable man towards God is because God has given him so much, and he says to God, " But stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face." so the question, what does our love for God based on?, is a legit question to ask. would we love and worship God the same if we had everything that we know and love stripped away from us? my answer would like to be yes, i would love to say yes to that. I'm sure all of us would.
