hey guys, how's it going? well, that blog got started: it's called wci-chapteraday.blogspot.com, and it's actually been working well. we've been reading through 1 Corinthians and it turns out that we've got about five people reading and posting and none of them seem to get what i get from reading the text. so it's great, and there are a lot of different perspectives that add a lot.

anyways, college has been okay. man, the weeks are the longest. but things are sorta settling into a balance. whenever i go to Burger King, i will get 2 crispy tacos, 2 rodeo cheeseburgers (though interchangeable with the Spicy Chick'n'Crisp), and a Coke Icee. on top of that, my job at Cafe Plaid is cool. Happy Hour (that is, beer) brings in a huge crowd, and i even met some runners yesterday. crazy fast runners. there was a guy from Jenks with a 4:24 mile. so...yeah. pretty intense. i have also been running lately, though not very consistently, and i think i might actually be gaining weight from everything that i've been eating at Burger King and elsewhere.

so...this post was to point to that chapter a day website that we've been posting on, and to say that God is great. this past week was a terribly hard week that would not end, but today was simply amazing. it really was. i cracked friday night, but i was talking to billy and he reminded me that God was still God, through everything. i didn't matter. and so my flaws don't matter. no matter how much i fail, it's still not going to matter. God is still God and He is still going to get what He wants. He's still gonna be lifted high and glorified at the end. and that's what really matters. that's what i want to see happen.

so God has sustained and provided. man, you don't even want to know what He did for me. there was a math test. at 8:30 in the morning. i didn't study for it at all. half the test might have been just waking up in time. well, that morning i actually woke up on time. more than that, i had energy. i got to the test that i hadn't studied for, and...i was the first one out. i don't think i missed anything....God is nice. i just read this in 1 Corinthians 4. it asks "what do you have that you didn't receive? then why do you boast about it like you had not received it?" the thing is...i received that grade. and today he kept my mind and my eyes pure. that hasn't really happened in a while...i received that too.

anyways, yeah. eyes fixed on God. hope you guys are having a good time. if you have prayer requests, you can hit me up at david.w.chang-1@ou.edu
