Air Guitar

I am often tempted to stay inside on a rainy day, to pass on dinner with my friends, or to not go to that court event. But I have been realizing lately that those things, though they may sound unappealing at first, are the most satisfying. Why not invest those few hours in encouraging friends, enjoying community, and growing with your close friends? It sounds cheesy, but that is what I realized at the Air Guitar competition last night. I really didn't want to go, but I was there to support my RA, my friends, and fellow Shire inhabitants. It was worth it.

Slow

Here at APU we have a spiritual formation weeks throughout the year. This last week's theme was "Slow".
God has been revealing Himself to me more and more through many parts of life that I wouldn't have expected him to. Even via the internet...
I have this thing called the "Stumble" button on my computer. You click on it and it takes you to a cool website or video or picture or anything really. I often click it when I am trying to avoid the large amount of homework I have managed to pile up. This particular time, I found something that spoke to me, not just my desire for new information or appreciation for beauty, but something more. I sent it to multiple friends, because I wanted them to experience the same thing I did.

So watch this and SLOW.

Psalm 46

1 God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
Selah

4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.

5 God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.

6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.

7 The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Selah

8 Come and see the works of the LORD,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.

9 He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth;
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear,
he burns the shields ^[b] with fire.

10 "Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."

11 The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Selah
