The Lord is My Strength

28. … The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
his understanding is unsearchable.
29. He gives power to the faint,
and to him who has no might he increases strength.
30. Even youths shall faint and be weary,
and young men shall fall exhausted;
31 but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.


Scott did a message on these verses Sunday morning. I hope they will be a blessing to you this week.

Leopard

No, it’s not my new pet. It is actually the new cat that Apple released yesterday. I have been using it for a good day now and I say it is maybe worth the $130. There aren’t any big features that stick out but it is the small little improvements that make the overall computing experience so much better. One thing that I like the best is spaces. Now I know that there were/are 3d party applications for Tiger that will do a similar thing but Apple just makes it so much better and since I only have a 12″ screen it is perfect to have iTunes, Mail, iCal on a separate space. You got to see it to appreciate it. Anyway overall Leopard is just a little bit smoother with a lot of small tweaks….it still wont wash your dishes so don’t expect a huge difference between Tiger and Leopard.

In conclusion if you get a student discount on Leopard go for it….if you have to pay $130 for it I would say just wait till you get a new Mac or try it out before you buy it.

Waiting...

Not sure where I want to go with this thought. But I was just thinking today about how happy I am. Not exactly sure if I can blame my happiness on my circumstances and that is why I give God the credit for my joy. Now what does waiting have to do with all of this?? Now don’t get me wrong waiting on the Lord is a good thing but waiting anxiously on something is a bad thing and that is the kind of waiting I am going to talk about.

It seems like we are always waiting on something. Waiting to get a driver’s license, waiting to graduate from high school, waiting to get a car, waiting to get done with college, waiting to get married. I can list a lot of “I can’t wait for….” phrases. But why do we always want to go to that next step?? Maybe it is because we are discontent…. maybe we should stop waiting and look at what we have now for we don’t know what is going to happen tomorrow. So lets focus on the Lord today and wait for Him to bring tomorrow :)

I think that’s why I am happy because even though I can’t wait on a lot of things to happen I can however meanwhile learn to know my God better! And guess what? We don’t have to wait on anything to take that important step of walking with the Lord.
