How's everybody doing?
I'm with my family in Tulsa this week. It's nice to see them and talk/spent time with them, but 'home' is feeling less like home now. I can't wait to be back in Norman with you all. I'm excited for our reunion and interested to see how much each of you have changed over these past months.
I spent the past week in Gaithersburg, MA at the Worship God Conference with my father and some other people from Grace Bible Church. I was challenged a lot last week. God is so much bigger and more worthy of my praise than I understand. Thankfully I was not just challenged, but also refreshed in the Gospel last week. I heard it preached by men like Dr. John Piper, who understand it better than I do and who are able to share to me their understanding in a way that causes me to be more amazed at the wonders of God's plan and in a way that spurs me to praise my Creator. I would recommend listening to the main sessions if you get a chance: http://www.sovereigngraceministries.org/Events/WorshipConference.aspx. The sermons by Piper were my favourite, but the one by Thabiti Anyabwile on the importance of the local church is very applicable to us as college aged people who struggle with being involved in a local body.
My dad is about to come home from work, so I'm going to go fix him some dinner. Everyone else here just left. It's just me, Doodle, and my guitar.
Come to Tulsa on Saturday to listen to Katie! That's a command.

I know what you mean about home not feeling quite like home.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to hear what you learned about the local church sometime.
