Hey, it's been awhile. I have been up to a lot since I last posted. Life has been good lately. Relying on the Lord is not easy when I am away from my InterVarsity brothers and sisters but God is showing me how I can be content with being away from them. I love being surrounded by people, to say the least, and God is continuing to awaken my soul while I'm alone. I made the bold choice to stay in my college dorm room over winter break. It is pretty empty. No roommate. No floormates. No RA's. No community. But, God is here, with me, always. I am grateful for my time here alone. Where I can drink in more of my Father's glory and strength. I am excited to see what this next month with the Lord will bring. I am feeling very calm and at peace with the Father, such a good thing. Some things I have been up to, in case you're curious:
~ My dear friend Gina made me this mug for our Christmas gift exchange. Man I love watched God work through her. She has been such a blessing to me. Also some exciting news, she committed her life to Christ this year!!!! YA BABY! She is in the Kingdom! ~
The mug says: "Your Word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path" ~ Psalm 119:105 (My favorite verse)

I was feeling rather depressed last week and I didn't really know why. I realized that I am just super nervous to be on my own this January here in EC. I love it so much but I've never been alone before. I am always around people constantly so I have never really felt that lonely. I am excited to see what God is going to do with my heart this winter break though. He is a God who is so good and has blessed me with so many gifts this past year. Here are some snaps of my life lately: I just love photos and I haven't really shared them with ya'll in a while :) <<Starting with a selfie, of course! I received this EASY button from a white elephant gift exchange. I will start using it to complete my finals. HA "That was easy!" ^^we crazily stayed up till the wee hours of the morning, laughing, crying, and singing. Gosh I love these two^^ ^^ummmm so this happened...That's what I get for leaving my camera lay at a Towers Christmas party^^ ^^ So the Towers community of leaders wrote out 1000 things that we have seen God work in this year or that God has blessed us with this year and man it was really cool seeing all of them up there. I am so thankful for a community who loves each other so well. It was such a blessing to see all the ways God has worked this semester alone in Towers. Also, the fact that my name was on like 5 of these sheets. What the crap. People are blessed by me and man that just feels so good to know you are appreciated and loved, even when you don't deserve it. Also my sister's name is on there, man I love her!^^ ^Christmas is nearing my friends! God is continuing to show me how blessed I truly am and how thankful I am for His Son, Jesus Christ's, birth. The true meaning of Christmas has really dawned on me^
Do you trust God wholehearted that He has a plan for you?
nope Do you want to trust God's plan? yep There are many things I struggle with and this is one of them. I ask myself these questions so often because they are so hard. They do however speak a lot of truth into my life at this moment. I don't really trust God's plan for me with my whole heart. I am hurting by things I have not gotten in my life. I know God has a plan for me, but why do I keep walking away from it? I want to trust God wholeheartedly but I don't really know what that looks like yet. . More importantly, I am scared. I am scared to be all in with trusting God's plan for me because it is not my own. I have set this plan for my future and I want it how I want it, is that too much to ask? YES! We shouldn't be asking for God to make our plans come true. We should instead be asking for God to reveal His plans for us. My plan for my future and my life and my eternity, is NOT my own. At times, some of us battle with whether what we are doing is in God's plan or just our own. We should guide our plan to God's so that "our" plan becomes His plan. |
