Our Creator

In my BSF-Bible Study Fellowship-class we are studying the book of Genesis-all year long!  Last year's study-Acts of the Apostles was great but we started in Acts and covered practically the rest of the New Testament.  It was A LOT of reading!  So I am excited that we get to spend the whole year in one book this year.  My discussion group leader is a very nice lady named Florence who is from Hong Kong.  I have much more respect for the guidelines of BSF now after being part of an international class-it really is amazingly like the class I attended in Greenville before having children.  In these first few weeks of class we have been talking about Creation and God's role as the Creator.  It has been very good.  It is also neat that my sister in law Emily is in BSF in Atlanta and a girl that I babysat more years ago than I care to remember whose husband is in seminary in NC is a group leader too. 

In church last week, we talked about worship and God being worthy of our constant worship.  We talked about worth of crazily expensive things like the most expensive pair of shoes, car, watch, house, etc and that though we cannot put a $ value on God he is worth much more than all these things.  We also talked about  the fact that He is all powerful/omnipotent and also desires an intimate relationship with each of us.

We sang "I am a friend of God"

Who am I that you are mindful of me
That you hear me, when I call
Is it true that you are thinking of me
How you love me, it's amazing
 CHORUS:
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
He calls me friend
   BRIDGE:
God Almighty
Lord of Glory
You have called me friend
 and

                "Here I am to worship"
Light of the world
You stepped down into darkness.
Opened my eyes, let me see.
Beauty that made this heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You

Here I am to worship,
Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
All together worthy,
All together wonderful to me

King of all days
oh, so highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above
Humbly You came
To the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor


and MY FAVORITE


From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God

All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God

Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God
You are amazing God
