Can I just tell you how great our God is?!?!
Long story short...I was extremely stressed out for more than the first half of the day. I kept trying to give the issue to God, but the truth is that the things I was stressed out about I brought on myself. I always tend to think... "maybe everything isn't going to turn okay because God wants to teach me a lesson on being more responsible." how wrong of me to try and predict God's actions.
amidst all the stress I tried to focus on God as much as I could. at one point when i thought everything was going to fall into place i took my lunch to the park near my old house because i was on that side of town. it was so cool to just sit there and think about the memories I've had at that park...good and bad. and to enjoy the BEAUTIFUL day. it was a good time of talking to God and refocusing my mind on Him.
then i came home and things seemed to be falling apart again. BUT God showed up as always, and it was not just His love that was apparent, but the love and servanthood of one of my professors. i love when God show Himself in others!
everything worked out. and i only wish i had trusted God with it from the beginning. when i mess up, i feel like God is going to be like, "I told you so." but He has infinite patience with me. He taught me the lesson without things falling apart on me.
just 1 1/2 days away from myspace seems to be making a difference in me. i won't go into what caused me to make the decision to "fast" from myspace for a couple weeks, but I can already see the problem that was being partly fed through myspace being remedied. i know God is doing some spring cleaning in my life right now to not just make me more like Christ, which is His ultimate goal, but to prepare me for something that's going to happen. i know i already wrote about this. but it's just exciting to sense God working in me like this. yes, He is always working in me, but this just feels different.
okay, enough babbling. i just love babbling about the things God is doing in me. i just wanted to say how much I am in love with God, and I am able to experience surrender more deeply each day.
the end.
