God in the Psalms

We just finished a series in Student Impact at Ridge Church called "Not That Into You" and it was all about not being into God. it's cool if you're not that into your girlfriend anymore... you just break up. But what happens when you're not that into GOD?

During one of the talks in the series we thought through some different ideas on how to fight for a relationship with God.

I just shared one of the best things that helps me stay in the fight when i'm feeling not that into God.
It's actually something I learned from Louie Giglio in The Air I Breathe (I think the book has some new title now). *Ever since I read that book in college I have been practicing his suggestion daily.

He just suggests to read straight through the Psalms. But each day just read until you come to something AMAZING ABOUT GOD. Some characteristic about Him that is awesome. Write that amazing thing about God in your journal along with the verse. and THEN dwell on that amazing thing about God the rest of the day! so simple.

I've been doing that daily for years and so have traveled through the Psalms several times now.
I just flipped through the most recent pages in my journal, for the past several Psalms and we scrolled through these awesome things about God, about who HE is on the screen as fast as we could go. I am overwhelmed by Him. 
I thought I would post these things representing His awesomeness here. This is who God is.
