I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.
In some versions, the last line is translated "So that you shall be a blessing." This makes more sense to me. We are blessed so that we may be a blessing to others. God doesn't just give us things to waste away. This is evident in the story Jesus tells about the talents. He gives talents to these three guys, and expects them to invest it wisely. I think we should use everything God blesses us with, whether it be money, a special talent, or a highly respected position to be a blessing to the people around us and to further His kingdom.
Last weekend was my mentor's (from work) wedding and Sea World. The wedding was pretty cool....well it was pretty hot actually since it was outside, but I ended up having a good time. And Sea World was amazing. I didn't think it'd be as fun, but they had a lot of really good shows! This weekend brings new and exciting adventures. Tonight, I'll be driving up to the (hopefully) great city of Dallas/Ft.Worth with my buddy Tom. We are gonna meet a bunch of guys and girls up there tonight and go to the world's largest Honkey Tonk!! It is appropriately named Billy Bob's. I'm pretty excited because I think they have live bull riding with real cowboys and everything!! And of course, I'm sure there will be plenty of good country music and two stepping! Tomorrow there is a party in Denton (North Dallas) at my good friend Bobby Brown's house. Should be some good BBQ and good times.
I only have three weeks of work left, which is really crazy. I'll be back in Ohio before I know it. I'm really glad I came out here. I've met some truly great people out here and had some truly amazing experiences. I've learned a lot about life too, and feel a lot more independent. God has definitely taught me a lot, hopefully a lot I can bring back to school this year. I'm excited to be a Senior this year and to see what God plans to do at UC this year. It's gonna be HUGE!!
