Blogging

Blogging... the word just sounds so nerdy and computer geekish, but I'm probably more of a computer geek than I even think I am, so I'll give it a try.

Tomorrow is the LAST day of class of my junior year! After that I have finals until May 8, then I take the GRE May 17, then I'm off to The Gathering Place on May 21st! Wow... I feel stressed even thinking about it! :) One thing at a time, one day at a time. I'll make it. The Lord will provide me with all that I need.

I can't believe that I'm going to be a senior next year! Wow, time really does fly by. I never thought I'd be done with college, and now here I am about to enter my SENIOR year. Amazing. And me, the person who has on several occasions contemplated leaving school for missions, or IHOP is now considering Graduate School! Talk about a change of heart right there! hehe...

Only the Lord knows, though, what I'll really be doing after I graduate. I might be in Grad school, or maybe end up in South America or Africa or something, or even something else! The cool thing is that God's plans are perfect, so wherever He leads, it's exactly where I'm supposed to be, and His plans for my life are exactly what will really fulfill me. Thank God for His faithfulness for directing my steps. I'm tired of trying to direct my own steps- especially since my heart is wicked, self-seeking, and deceitful. God, who is pure of heart, has the true, omniscent perspective, and He knows not only what I need but also what will truly fulfill me, and He desires to see me walk in the path He has set out for me. That doesn't mean that His way will be without suffering, indeed His word says that all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. (2 Timothy 3:12). Yet, I should rejoice in my sufferings, because suffering produces perseverance; persevearnce, character' and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by His Holy Spirit, whom He can given us. Romans 5:3-5.

Thanks be to God, who gives us the VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ. - 1 Cor. 15:57

I Love you Jesus. Thank you for taking care of me, for leading me and guiding me, and lovingly directing my steps in your perfect will for my life. Amen.
