O may my soul be found in Him

Well hello! I've had a super awesome day today! So I thought this evening I would go to a different church then Denton Bible, just to mix it up some, no biggie. Not trying to switch or anything, so I went to a certain baptist church, which will remain nameless, and with all the respect in my heart, there were pretty much only elders there so I decided to leave. After that I drove to about 5 or 6 other churches, until I finally decided that this was God's way of saying " Go to Denton Bible." So I did. I heard something that I very much enjoyed tonight. My pastor was talking about praying and said something along the lines of "Jesus didn't pray so that God's will would change," and that really hit me. How many times do we pray saying "God if you could just do this for me, or God please change this.." we pray that instead recognizing God's grace. Then we sang the song "I boast no more," Which has always been one of my favorite songs.
Here are the lyrics:
No More My God, I boast no more
Of all the duties I have done
I quit the hopes I held before,
To trust the merits of Thy Son

No more my God
No more my God
No more my God
I boast no more

Now, for the loss I bear his name,
What was my gain I count my loss
My former pride I call my shame
And nail my glory to His cross

Yes, and I must, I will esteem
All things but loss for Jesus' sake
O may my soul be found in Him
And of His righteousness partake
Amen, amen

The best obedience of my hands
Dares not appear before Thy throne
But faith can answer Thy demands
By pleading what my Lord has done


Yep. simply amazing. I felt the Lord was speaking to me and.. like i said.. amazing. Well yesterday, Brad, took me to movie trading company. It was my very first time there and they were having a huge sale! Naturally, when there is a sale, you simply CANNOT pass it up so I decided to buy a little somthin' somethin'.. If you know me at all, you will know I have this wonderful crazy obsession with friends.. so I bought 2 sets (with four discs) of "The best of friends" and " Dan in Real Life."


I was pretty excited about that movie because I have been looking for it this past week in about 4 different movie stores. Someone lent it to me and then I kept it, then I lent it to someone and they kept it so now that I finally have it, I will never lend it to anyone ever again. I'm just kidding. But I will make sure I get it back. Well I also rented to movie "Beyond the Gates of Splendor,"

which I'm pretty excited to watch because Jim Elliot is who inspired me to want to be a missionary when I was a little girl. Well God is good and it has been a wonderful day. Well happy sleeping!
