Back on Track...Car "Accidents" with God

Its been almost 3 years since my last posting, a lot has happened since then...Let me try to recap everything in the past 3 years in roughly 3 sentences each:

Here I go:
1) I've graduated college from Biola University and the Torrey Honors Institute...
2) I'm engaged to my beautiful fiance and the most wonderful girl you'll ever meet...
3) I am now serving as a youth minister at the Home of Christ in Menlo Park...

Here God goes:
1) God pulled me through some of the darkest times of my life to finally graduate!
2) God "tied the knot" in my relationship with Leah Lee, a joyful Spirit-filled lady!
3) God introduced me to serve the church and youths in Menlo Park near my hometown!

So what inspired me to start blogging again? I've been meaning to find a way to share my thoughts and devotionals with my youths at church...And I thought finally I could use my blog for a good purpose! Also, it seem to much of a coincidence but I first started blogging a lot around the time I got in a serious car accident. And it so happens, I have gotten into another car accident...I'm currently undergoing chiropractic treatment, renting a brand-new white Nissan Versa, and getting my Hyundai Tiburon "ATOM" fixed at the shop. So while, I am stressed, sore, and aching all from the whiplash. I thought this would be a good time to stop, pause, and reflect on all that God has done in my life. The Psalmist David puts it best Psalm 40:1-8 to wait patiently for God and trust in Him:

"I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him.

Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods. Many, Lord my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare.

Sacrifice and offering you did not desire— but my ears you have opened— burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require. Then I said, “Here I am, I have come— it is written about me in the scroll. I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart.”

Take home message is this...trust in God and He will lead you to the place you should go...May you seek God today and everyday!
