power, wisdom, sovereignty....the qualities of a normal man...

so, this has been kinda near the forefront of my mind the last week or so...
Genesis 1:26 "And then God said, let us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness..."

So, when the issue of the Father heart of God come up, this verse usually comes up. Rightfully so. But what about the other 2?
If the trinity is true, which i fully believe, then it must also be true that God, if indeed eternal, never beginning, never ending, has always been Father, Son and Spirit. So, in Genesis 1, when it says that man was made in "Our image"...it's talking all 3, the complete trinity.
Sure, you may have noticed this and this is nothing new for you, but for me, my friends, this is something i didn't think about until last week. That i was created, in the image of not only my Father God, but my Saviour, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

And i heads it over to dictionary.com (probably one of my favourite websites ever.)
and it defines likeness as:
1. The state, quality, or fact of being like; resemblance.

The fact of being like.
God created us in the 'fact of being like' Him and His 2 counterparts...or...Him and Himself and Himself....however you want to look at it...

i don't even want to pretend i know what this means...
but it does blow my mind. that when God thought Rob...he thought God...
God looked in the mirror and was like "i look good...i really like myself....let's make Rob like Me."

i don't know if that's exactly how it happened..don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to presume i understand how God things up creating someone, or bringings someone into existence...
but as i sit here, i can't help but think. God can create anything, destroy anything, and deffinitely NOT create anything...so why did He create me?....why did He create you?!?
There HAS to be a purpose....so much higher than just living....
so much higher than just existence....higher than just wandering around aimlessly.
How dare i wander around aimlessly... when there's such a HUGE God to get to know...

and yet, as i sit here. I realize how tired i am. the fact that i was up at 5:40am this morning, that i'm absolutely wrecked and that all i really want to do is sleep...
But there's such a HUGE God to get to know...it blows my mind...and i want to get to know Him, oh man do i ever. everything in me begs or it....my body is just asking for sleep.
so tonight, i gotta go to bed earlier, sure...
i gotta eat healthier, because if you eat bad food you get more tired...
i need to focus on what's important and not on the everyday mundain of life, the useless things that come and go and don't mean a hill-o-shit...

i really want to do what's important...think about it...if i go home, sit on my ass and do nothing, i've gained what?....nothing....if i go home and watch tv, what have i done?...well, i've excercised my 'god-given-right' to relax?!?....bleh...come on now..i've waisted another hour of my time...

So, i'm probably going to get off my lazy ass and walk over to the healthy eating section of the starbucks/chapters i'm sitting in right now and look over some books that might get me from point A (where i am now) to point B....cause if you aren't moving...you're dying...or sleeping..

self improvement?..i dunno....
self preservation? ..i dunno....
self explination? ..even worse...

although, there is this girl that's sitting at a table near me..and by looking at her, i'm not really thinking she's short or anything....but..and this is the kicker...she just got up to go get another drink.....she's gotta be 4'2"...i swear....shortest little thing i've ever seen....hilarious..
it's only hilarious cause in my head (not that i was thinking about her)...but ya know, you notice something out of the corner of your eye, or even stare at it blankly...and then something happens with that object or person or whatever it is that you were looking at, and it's completely different than you thought in your mind?!?!...

*cricket* *cricket*

ok...no one else has that.....sweet...

i wish somedays i thought less...and enjoyed more.
like...how many days go by that i don't at some point get that nagging "hey, you're still single" thing fly through my head...
or "hey, why'd you mess up earlier, last night, again, right now, later on?!? you always mess up"
or "gonna read or veg tonight"
or "do you even have ANY clue what you are talking about?"
or "you really need to spend more time with God" "you really need to eat less" "you really need to sleep more" "you really need to read more" "you really need to........"



OH SHUT UP.........
