"so class...what's one word you would use to describe God?"

"We believe, then, in One God, one beginning, having no beginning, uncreate, unbegotten, imperishable and immortal, everlasting, infinite, uncircumscribed, boundless, of infinite power, simple, uncompound, incorporeal, without flux, passionless, unchangeable, unalterable, unseen, the fountain of goodness and justice, the light of the mind, inaccessible; a power known by no measure, measurable only by His own will alone for all things that He wills He can, creator of all created things, seen or unseen, of all the maintainer and preserver, for all the provider, master and lord and king over all, with an endless and immortal kingdom: having no contrary, filling all, by nothing encompassed, but rather Himself the encompasser and maintainer and original possessor of the universe, occupying all essences intact and extending beyond all things, and being separate from all essence as being super-essential and above all things and absolute God, absolute goodness, and absolute fulness: determining all sovereignties and ranks, being placed above all sovereignty and rank, above essence and life and word and thought: being Himself very light and goodness and life and essence, inasmuch as He does not derive His being from another, that is to say, of those things that exist: but being Himself the fountain of being to all that is, of life to the living, of reason to those that have reason; to all the cause of all good: perceiving all things even before they have become: one essence, one divinity, one power, one will, one energy, one beginning, one authority, one dominion, one sovereignty, made known in three perfect subsistences anti adored with one adoration, believed in and ministered to by all rational creation, united without confusion and divided without separation."

dreamin.

So... I have weird/crazy/random dreams. pretty often. I've always wondered why I dream such vivid, detailed, weird stuff...and lately i've been asking the Lord to use my crazy dreams to speak something into my life. I'm still waiting on Him...but I thought i'd share a dream I had a few nights ago...
dont be freaked out. It's pretty random...

DREAM PART 1
I forgot to meet Sarah for surfing. We had planned to meet at 8am. I woke up...and was in my apartment. My friend Jordan came over and was talking about something..and then eventually about 8 other people came flooding in. I totally forgot about Sarah. Then it clicked. and by 11am I realized I forgot to meet her. Turns out she had been waiting for me the whole time. sitting in her car. I felt horrible. We were planning on going with a group of other people..who all looked at me and blamed sarah for being late. I told them just to go on without me...

DREAM PART 2
I was in my car with a few other people driving to some park. We were lost...kept going under random bridges and stuff..and ended up what seemed to be like the corner of a street. There were a bunch of little kids running around and in the middle of this corner on this street was a huge elephant. I think a giraffe too. There were what looked like Zoo keepers there..who were Christians. They were like using the animals to reach out to the kids running around. WEIRD.

DREAM PART 3
I was helping serve food outside somewhere..there were two long long tables and I was standing at the end with this kid names Jedidiah. He was a volunteer too. He was wearing this yellow shirt that said, "newsome seattle northwest" on it (haha I know..what?) and said "you want a shirt? I can get you one for free. theyre usually $50" I said.."YAH!" few seconds later he came back and had the same shirt in grey and kneeled down on one knee and like raised the shirt up to give it to me, like he would to royalty or something. hahaha

DREAM PART 4
last part of this very strange dream..I had just finished a long day of shopping with girlfriends. We were at a Mexican restaurant and just sat down with all our bags. Suddenly someone came and stole one of my bags..and then another guy came and took this little clutch I had and ran the other way. I managed to catch the guy with my bag and my other friend quickly took my clutch back (which had my wallet in it) It all happened in literally 30 seconds...so I figured there was no way they stole anything. My heart was beating fast..and I looked in my wallet to make sure it was all there..and my license, debit card, and credit card were all gone. SO FAST!

END OF DREAM. WHAT?? ahahha.. who knows!
