It's been a pretty crazy month (as you can tell by my blogging...or lack thereof), and it's not promising to get any calmer. The semester is nearing the end, which means one thing- the workload is towering over me like a giant mountain. Not only do I need to finish the semester in good standing, but grad-school/life-decisions are knocking on the door. I know I can't do this alone. At least not in the best way possible. I'm so thankful for these promises:
Proverbs 16:3- Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.
Jeremiah 29:13- You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
Colossians 3:23- Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.
Psalm 131: 2- But I have calmed myself and quieted my ambitions. I am like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child I am content.
Colossians 3:15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
I know that whatever happens this semester, whatever happens next semester, and wherever I end up next year...if I commit it to the Lord and trust him with the outcome, I'll be exactly where I need to be, doing exactly what I need to be doing. It's hard at times. It's painful. It requires a lot of trust. But I know he'll be there for me. When all else fails- when I fail, when people fail, when plans fail...I still have him. And he keeps me on the ground.
Despite the challenge of it all, It has been a great month. It truly has. The weather has been absolutely beautiful for November. Although the first snow is bound to be nearby, I am thankful for what we have had so far. God is good, life is good, and yes, I'm even thankful for challenges.
