Doing something...

This has been a weird week, but a cool one to, as new things seem to be trying to knock their way into my head, but my soul is really at peace, because I know that God is in control. The other day, I did not know how to put this all into words, and then a song came on the radio, that stated it pretty much perfectly:

"There's a wave that's crashing over me, and all I can do is surrender
Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos, but somehow there's peace
And it's hard to surrender to what I can't see, but I'm giving in to something heavenly
- Sanctus Real "Whatever You Are Doing"

Sweet huh?

The next part of the song go like this:

Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos, but I believe
You're up to something bigger than me
Larger than life, something heavenly


And finally:

Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos, but now I can see
This is something bigger than me
Larger than life, something heavenly.

Sort of like Job, who was put in the storm and the tested in the fire, and could only through up his hands in surrender. When God confronted him, He asked him, "were you there when the earth was created?" and Job knew that there was something much bigger then him taking place. Finally, Job ended praising the glory and greatness of the Lord. "I know that You can do all things."

While I may not be in a situation that it heavy like job's, God is doing something and my spirit can sense it.... I really just don't understand it.

Our new president

So our new president is now Obama, and it came with mixed reactions. While the news was just starting to break, I was sitting at in class, when one guy jumped up, ran outside, and yelled in excitement. Later in the banquet room, where people were watching the election results together, there was tension in the air, as a mixture of happines, frusteration, and even a hint of despair flooded the room.... Interesting times huh?

So, change has certainly come, as we welcome in our next president, and the first one of color. Lets keep him in prayer, and know that God is still in control.
