"So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." -Genesis 1:27
The other week I was walking through the halls of my school praying over the lockers and it hit me, all of us are created in His image. ALL OF US! I continued to think about this, that means even my friends who do not know the Lord are even created in His image. So that means that even though satan has conquoered there ways with the falling into the sinful nature, he will always be reminded by there image that he is still not in power. That one thing remains, we are created in His image, that is the one thing satan will never ever be able to control.
Satan can control our actions, and our thoughts, and what we do, but he can only control and enslave what is already there... that image of God. That just blew my mind, I think we don't think about it that way, the Bible says that we were knit in our mothers womb, by Him. But we only talk about the verse when we think of Followers, not others. Those kind of verses apply to all man kind, future, past and present.
So today, look at everyone as an amazing, beautiful, creation and image of Him!
I am a theology student studying at a Bible University. Do I know all the answers to all the questions, NOT AT ALL! Slowly and slowly I am beginning to realize that I know absolutely nothing. But here I am trying to discover slowly who I am, who we are, and what God's calling is for us as His followers.

Seeing Brush Strokes of a Bigger Picture
After a long summer it is finally time to go back to real life. This past summer was actually truly amazing, God showed me so much about where He wants to take me this year. With that I think we all need to remember as we head back to school, work, and our yearly daily lives to listen to His guidance.
This past year I started this blog as mainly something to update my friends back home for when I went away on my missions trip to Brazil. However as many of you have seen, read and observed, this blog has become a
lot more then a simple update here and there. This blog has become an example of how God can use our plans to make His come to life.
So as we head into this new work/school year remember, sometimes our plans aren't His, sometimes things wont go like we want them to the whole time. but know that He knows where we are, will and have been, so embrace this year, and embrace His will.
