Such an Amazing God!!

        Wow, it has been quite a while since I wrote a post.  Junior year of college keeps me busy!  I cannot believe how fast my past two years have gone.  I thank God for everything I have done and give him all the credit for how well I am doing in school.  This past Thursday night I was extremely blessed to be able to go to a concert at the Tiles Center at CW Post (LIU) when Michael W. Smith was there.  It was such an amazing night and I really felt God there. I don't know if any of you who have a challenge bringing that feeling back home, but I always hate going home after concerts or retreats like that and adding that work God has done in me to my home life.  It has always been that way for me, I pray for God to change that and he has helped me.  It has gotten easier over the years and I thank him for that.
        Well enough about me.  How have all of you been?  Has God done an amazing thing for you in your life since I last wrote to you?  I had my first big test for the semester two Thursday's ago and God helped me get a good grade on it.  I was anxious about this test and he came to help me through one of my friends at college.  I posted that I was anxious about this test because the teacher did not tell us what to expect on Facebook, and one of my friends commented "You are in my prayer :) God is in control...study your best and he will help you do the rest :)" and that was exactly what I needed to read and see. I did just that, studied the best I could, and then prayed before the test and I did well, so thank you God!!  Our God is such an amazing and powerful and wonderful God!
        I just wanted to post a song, because I just felt touched by it today:

Above All (Michael W. Smith)


Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here, before the world began
Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth

Crucified, laid behind a stone
You lived to die, rejected and alone
Like a rose, trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all

Above all powers
Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here, before the world began
Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth

Crucified, laid behind a stone
You lived to die, rejected and alone
Like a rose, trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me

Crucified, laid behind a stone
You lived to die, rejected and alone
Like a rose, trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all
Like a rose, trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all
You thought of me (4)
Thank you Jesus
Hallelujah

Here are also some pictures I took from the concert!
