...for reason

I was watching a makeshift video for Casting Crown's "I'll Praise You in this Storm" (great song by the way) and underneath was a note from someone who found it by mistake, but was so moved by the video that he began rethinking his life and started going to church. Over time He began to see the truth and has now put His faith in Christ. Although I can't say for sure why henderlovesjuesus posted this video, I doubt he thought that something like this would happen.
I just thought this was so amazing, that God was able to use something that seemed so small and insignificant to bring glory to His name.

The song itself is very powerful as it reminds us to look to Jesus, to praise Him even if things aren't working out the way we hoped they would. I've struggled with this my whole life, as I taught myself early on to block everything out until the problem blows over.

But what if it didn't just blow over, what if the problem stuck with you and refused to let go until you did something about it?

Now I'm learning to turn to Jesus, which isn't easy but has helped me come to some much needed closure regarding certain aspects of my life. I've even begun to praise God for some of them, as I realize how all this fits in with my growth and development.

Looking back I see how these situations have helped me, but after reading that post I wonder if they have helped anyone else. It's certainly possible, we've all seen God do it one way or another. It's like that saying "in China, whenever a butterfly beats its wings it creates a tornado here in the US" (or something like it); only it's more than just a plot for some lame time-travel movie.

This post seems to be going all over the place, so I'll just say God Bless and call it a night. But before I do, please pray that VBS would have the same impact on the children there.
