I've been MIA for a little while and I'm truly sorry.
With being in school full-time and working full-time, my 24 hours seem to go by kinda quickly.
I decided to do a toss-up between a blog post or some more homework. Then I decided to just do homework. However, the server is down temporarily, so BLOG post it is :)
Sometimes it feels like a hamster wheel. I wake up, go to work, come home, do schoolwork, eat, do schoolwork, shower, go to bed. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. {Psst, can I tell you a secret? I hate the hamster wheel.}
I am learning that there is a season and a reason for just about everything. Planting means growing and growing means pain.
And in the quiet moments, when it's just me and Him, I cry out with my questions and heart-aches and my longing for fullness. In that quiet moment, one little phrase came to mind:
Be still and know.
That's it. Just four little words. And they are powerful words, fairly well-known, and (I'll admit) a little frustrating. See, there's a lot of things I don't know and for some reason, I dwell on those.
It's like, we're wired that way. We see the things we don't know- and that's all we see.
But I think I'm done with that.
I want to just be still and know.
Know what?
Know that God is good. Always.
Know that God is all-knowing (try saying that ten times fast). I need not worry.
Know that God is everywhere, all at the same time, so I can focus on simply being present.
Know that God is all-powerful, so I can rely on muscles that are bigger than mine.
Know that God loves and cares for all of the people in this great big world.
Know that He has something crazy beautiful in store for me even when I can't see it. And even though I'm following Him blindfolded, I know that He is the God who sees. Sure, I'd love to see the future, but I want to see Jesus more.
Know that my God works in His own way and on His own time. I'm thankful for that because when my own plans and timetable aren't lining up quite right, He's working on something else, something better.
Know that my life will reflect His goodness...
For my story will be His story for His glory.
