I don't know if you're supposed to be inspired and rejoice in Biblical Foundations homework, but I did today. I've put off writing two papers for a while, and I had to cram them all in today! (After I went to the park with my friends and ate Chinese at the new restaurant.) The book we're writing on talks about the big picture of scripture. The book outlines Genesis to Revelation, revealing the storyline of the whole Bible. The story this author came up with was the Kingdom. He argues that from Genesis throughout the whole Bible, God promises His people a kingdom, and we see that kingdom fulfilled in Jesus. (Some of you might be familiar with the Firm Foundations Bible study. This is pretty much the same thing.)
Then I was reminded of some awesome lyrics: "God has kept His promises, what a work of grace this is, Son of Mary, chosen One, the Lamb of God has come." (Glory Be To God, Sovereign Grace Music)
Wow! From the beginning of time-NO-before the beginning of time, God knew that man would fall in the garden. He told them about a deliverer that would crush Satan's head. Then, we see a picture of what would happen for us throughout the whole Old Testament. God kept His promise. His Word is true! That's amazing!
So, I need to work on that paper...just had to stop and write this down.

I love this Rachel, Firm Foundations is one of the best things that ever happened to me! I love that the whole picture is much bigger than we will ever know!
