God is One Funny Dude..

I don't think we relize enough how everything good in our lives is because of the man upstairs.

I mean, when something amazing happens like we get a brand new car, or permission from our parents to live in a different country without them, we usually imiadatly thank God.(those of us who are chritians, that is)

And when we give thanks to God we give him the praise, which is what we should do. it should be like recycling, God gives us something amazing, we should give something back to him.


But do we ever stop to give him praise for the smallest things, like laughter? usually not. when we laugh were in the moment and never really thank God for letting us have people in our lives to laugh with.

And have you ever thought who makes us lagh the most? You might be suprised to hear, that "person" is God. I''ve been reading 2 Sam. lately, and most of it applies to my life. Like giving loive to those who did us SO many wrongs, because when they die, we'll never have the chance to forgive and love again, and when we do something good, we should give God thanks because without him, we wouldn't be existing without him right now.I recently have been excited for small things too.Like I recently painted my furniture, which was one of the ugliest things I've ever seen, and thay look so much bettert now with paint. I give God all the glory for that.

When I read things in the bible that I apply to my life really makes me laugh my face off. Sometimes I think the Bible is the wrong title of God's book, and it's really
"Step by Step Instructions on How Alyssa Paige Woodard, Born November 4th Who's favorite color is Neon,loves 80's clothing and Vintage Furniture Should Live Her Life"
The book feels like it's soo specifically made for me, it's crazy. When life seems to be crapping all over me, God seems to sneaks in something in the bible it's kinda hilarious.

Ryan Dalbey, a college leader at my church seems to say this all the time. latley he's been dealing with the word faith. It had been going on and on in his miond the whole week, and when he turned his bible to a random page, it reminded him of what faith really is, and as he always does,he looked up to heaven and said "God, you are one funny guy."

I have recently done that, because God has the funniest humor of all of us. we are reminded everyday to read our bible and when we don't, our life turns to mush we decide to read the bible, and our answer was in there the whole time.

take everything God gives us, and give it right back.

Just a Thought..

One Love, One Heart-
