Wow, I can't believe this semester is over! This reminds me that my life is a vapor, and to keep my eyes on the eternal! Today as I was eating lunch I was contemplating my life, and how I am so blind when I look ahead of what is in front of me. I can be a very scary thought. Also, I was getting frustrated when I had this thought, because it is hard to have comfort in the un known portions of life.
I also related my life to a novel, and the author being the Lord. He is currently writing the story in real-time. It is an unfinished book. The author knows how the story is going to end and what will happen next, but if the book isn't complete the reader is in total ignorance of even the next line on the page. There are times when I want to pick up the pen and start writing, but it wouldn't be how the Author would want to write the story. Jesus is the author and finisher of my faith. I was listening to a Chuck tract today and Chuck said, "Fear only comes when I loose the consciousness that God is with me." It is so comforting that God is by my side, He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. I will walk by faith, because I can have the confidence that God is writing the story of my life, and His timing is perfect. If I surrender my life to Him, I will have a life filled with things that I could never imagine on my own, and have blessings in abundance!
I haven't been updating throughout the semester, but it was amazing to say the least. The Lord made our household so peaceful, and blessings from fellowship happened continually. My hearts desire is to come back as soon ad possible. My heart is here. I can say that with confidence. The Lord is sending me home for a season, but it will be hard, and I will need His strength. Christ is my sufficiency, He is all i need. I pray that I can let go of the "pen" in my life and let the Lord write that amazing plan for my life. I can't wait to see what is going to happen next! :) God is so good.
