How Great You Are

here i am back blogging again. im not quite sure where time has gone these last few days but they seem to have flown by.

on monday evenings i am part of a group at a local church here in vancouver that teaches english to asian students in a converstation club style environment. we discuss topics relevent to the students that come, eat dinner together, have a time of musical worship and over the past few weeks we have begun the alpha course with them. i am finding that through this outreach i am also learning so much both from the christians and non-christians there.
i am really enjoying making friends from countries like china, hong kong, south korea and japan.
all that to say that when i was there last night i was reminded again of how great God is.
God's character never changes. His posture towards me is always an open hand. He loves me and is always pursuing me.
i walked away from last night with an overwhelming sense of God's greatness and majesty.
How great You are. i stand in awe of You my God.

for me, there is nothing that reveals His splendor and majesty more than being in His breath taking creation. the mountains here in vancouver had an early dump of snow this year which meant they could open early. so this week i was able to get up there and it was exhilarating.
a lot of my thoughts these days are planning my next trip to grouse mountain. i just cant get enough of it.

when i was up there on my snowboard, flying down the mountain with the wind in my hair (well maybe not quite flying!) i felt for the first time in a long time, graceful!
snowboarding isnt really a sport that i have ever thought of as graceful but it was almost like a dance between me and God and i felt amazing.

thank you God, You are awesome!
