I'm so at awe right now.

I mean, that's a very basic statement, but for me as we speak, a very true one.

I stepped out of my car at roughly 2:40am, and something just made me look up towards the sky. What I saw was a sky blanketed with stars, and all that sprang to mind was that God had created every single one of them. Each one that looks so small and infinitesimal are actually massive bodies, as big as our sun, and there are a countless number of them. God created every single one of them.

Everytime I go into my new job, I am grateful for the opportunity that has been presented to me. Not only is the job incredible, but I am completely open and invited to be a Christian.

I focus more on the invitation portion of that previous statement, because being able to hold a job that is both great and spiritually encouraging is something that I value more with every passing day.

I have had the opportunity to recently openly talk with co-workers about faith and our spirituality, without fear of stepping on toes.

A topic that usually comes up is purity in terms of rules set forth by certain schools. Specifially, we have been discussing a university I have given some thought to transferring to next school year.

That topic, however, is something that still requires alot of prayer.

I'm both excited and already dull on the idea of returning to school for the coming semester. In all honesty, the idea of returning to music with a band is a much more exciting and passionate prospect for me. I'm still fuzzy as to whether this is a sign from God, or if it's just me.

More prayer needed on that, too.

Where is the faith going among us? How many of us simply question if there is a God everytime that something happens to us in our lives? Is the fact that something bad happens to us a sign that God isn't there, or a sign that He wants us to endure?
