So I thought I would make my first legit post about what is going on in my life and what I feel like God is teaching me, I hope you can find encouragement in it! It's an introduction... to me.
So looking back at I am going to start with some input about my winter break, as it is not far from gone. My winter break was good, not great. It was a good chance for me to just set aside everything I had on my mind the last semester, after all I was taking 19 credits! It was cool to just take time to chill, and in some cases chill a little too long on the couch!
It wasn't great because it was just tough to sit still. The past semester I always had something going on and I was constantly stressed, and I can say my relationship with Christ struggled. I think overall it was a good time for me to relax, and have some fun with some of my old friends this summer! That was good, but I don't think I really pointed myself back to Christ as much as I had hoped, I have been bad at that. There were just a lot of things on my mind over break that I did not confront, and I don't know why, maybe I was afraid, maybe I was tired of thinking...
Getting back to college has blown my mind. This semester has looked nothing like I expected. God has been and is moving in my life. I think God was tired of my lack of pursuit and decided to personally take the reigns. This semester has come and is coming with great trials and many spiritual tests for me. The beginning of the semester has been crazy, but God has shown up in it. God has taken me through some of the deepest darkest pain I have ever known. He has shown me the darkness. But more importantly, in all my pain and struggle God has led me into the light, and what a beautiful light it is! God has shown me where I have failed, He has put things on my heart I have never dreamed of or felt. God has blown my mind every day in what He is teaching me. God has shown me his infinite love and embrace. He has shown me that when I feel like the world is falling in around me He will be my rock, and his promises will hold true! He has shown me beauty that I have never imagined, he has shown me the man of Christ that he intended me to be.
God has taken my idea of faith and shattered it into 1000 pieces. All I have everyday is Him. All I have to walk in each day is faith that His plan will prevail, whatever that mean. I have learned that I spend too much time worrying about the future instead of walking through each day knowing that I need to not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. God has and is teaching me how to just know that He is perfect, and so is His plan for my life. And I am ok with that. I am ok letting the creator of the universe take care of and shape my future.
I hope you have found this all encouraging. That through great trial, God has reason, and He will prevail. He has a great plan for our lives, let Him worry about that. Walk in faith knowing God will guide you, you need not worry about tomorrow.
"Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." - Matthew 6:33
Peace!
