I don't usually sit in sermons and say, "wow, that was for me." But yesterday in my OT class I did. I love my prof for that class and for the last 20 minutes or so Friday he just sort of preached to us. We had been talking about Abraham, and the prof pointed out that his willingness to sacrifice Isaac was so much more than just offering up his son. Everything that God had promised to Abram was wrapped up in Isaac. By asking for Isaac God was asking for everything He had told Abram He would do. I hadn't ever thought about it that way. But that wasn't the cool part :).

I guess you know that I have been struggling with God's will (finding/doing it) for what seems like years. I had sort of gotten to the point where I was just like, OK, I'm just going to have to trust God day by day. But my prof said something that hit me. He said, "my God is bigger than my decisions." How arrogant of me to think that something I decided to do would mess God up! OK, maybe I'm not totally over being afraid one day God's going to throw His hands up in aggrivation with me and leave, but to hold fast to my God being bigger than the things I do, that He will accomplish His will despite me, that's pretty good stuff.
