God the Tester?

Genesis 22:1-19

I have read the story who knows how many times of God telling Abraham to sacrifice his son, Isaac. First off, I think it's so funny that we tell these kinds of stories to our children in Bible Class on flannel boards when they're like five years old. Anyway... the past few times when I've read this story, it just leaves me unsettled. It makes me view God as this Tester. And I'm not a fan of viewing him like that.. Like if my friend made me do something to see how good of a friend I am, I would not be a happy camper with her. You know what I mean? I don't want God to have to test me to find out how much I love him or fear him, as He did with Abraham. Which maybe that means I have to show how much I love him.. I don't know.

What are your thoughts? How do you view this story?

Life and Such

Hm.. what's happened in the world of Anna?

Basketball is over. We ended up getting third place. We were the number one seed, but we just couldn't make anything. But luckily for us, no one is graduating so hopefully next year we'll win :)

I mentioned a few posts ago that I was planning on going to college next year. Well, things change and now I will be attending WCCS next year. Honestly, I'm totally fine with it. I have more options for college now and what not and that excites me. I'm looking at Kentucky Christian, but we'll see what God has in store for me. He's already changed my plans a few times, if you couldn't tell.

Honduras is just around the corner! In three months from today we will be leaving for Honduras. It's crazy. I am so excited and hoping I receive all the funds I need to stay for the five weeks I'm planning on. And so we pray.. God is faithful.
