Who God Is

I'm being challenged with this:
Spend some time thinking about God and who He is.  Create a layout that represents that in your life.

About 10 years ago I heard a teaching that gave me a better grasp on the awesomeness of God.  God of the universe...and beyond.  God before & after all time...the Alpha & the Omega.  God of the Old & New Testament through today.  God who knows all--and still listens to His children all over the world at the very same time.  And cares about a child's pet frog which dies as much as he cares about those we have lost in war.

I am not worthy of such a God.   And yet I am a daughter of the King of Kings.

Here's an exerpt from the teaching:

The world is spinning out of control.  Who can make sense of it all?  Anybody?  I AM
Nothing's real anymore.  I AM
What's the point?  I AM
I'm taking care of everyone else, who's taking care of me?  I AM
I don't think I can make ends meet.  I AM
Who can put all these pieces back together again?  I AM
Who can I trust?  I AM
I need help.  I AM
I need a rush.  I AM
I need a fix.  I AM
I need a drink.  I AM
I need hope.  I AM
Nobody's listening to me.  I AM
I just need a second chance.  I AM
I want security for my family.  I AM
Who's on my team?  I AM
I don't have anything to live for.  I AM
I've done all I can and it seems like it's never enough.  I AM
I can't.  I AM  I'm weary.  I AM  I quit.  I AM
I'm looking for Mr. Right.  I AM
My children need a daddy.  I AM
Somebody hold me.  I AM
I am not, but I know I AM!

I AM the way.  I AM the truth.  I AM the life.
I AM the beginning.  I AM the end.  I AM the first.  I AM the last.
I AM the sustainer.  I AM the life giver.
I AM the rescuer.  I AM the provider.
I AM the hold it together guy.
I AM the Lord and there is no other.  
I AM God and there is none beside me.
I AM the glorious one and it's all about me.

Okay, Ruth here....please know that I AM  is God.  Here's the verse in reference:

Exodus 3:14

 14 God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”
