Our Red Sea

We read stories of God moving in miraculous ways, but do we believe that He still moves?

“Moses answered the people, ‘Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.’” Exodus 14: 13-14 NIV

We read grad stories in the Bible of God moving in miraculous ways. In Exodus we follow Gods redemption of His chosen people. He redeems a murderer to stand up to a pharaoh, brings plagues upon Egypt, and parts the Red Sea to free His people. This story shows Gods glory in an undeniable way. It’s obvious that God is faithful to His people yet we don’t think he still moves like this. God moved then, He is moving now, and He will move in the future.

God still hears our cries to Him and He still moves mountains for those who have faith. God is so faithful to us. He wouldn’t ask us to do the impossible if He wasn’t going to make it possible to bring glory to him. Where our abilities end His glory begins. We have to have trust in our God to deliver us and part the Red Sea in our lives. When we follow the path He has set before us even when we can’t see the way, we are living proof that our God still moves.

My deepest prayer is that we see God shake our lives. I pray that we never forget that serve a radical God that has radical plans for His people. All we have to do is place our faith in Him. All we have to do is be still and listen because our God is fighting for us.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
