"But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen."
~1 Peter 5:10-11
Goodness, these last few months have been a spiritual desert. Yet, I knew God was going to bring me through it, somehow, some way. And He did.
It was not how I expected. It was not the exact thing I prayed for. However, God knows what's best for me better than I know myself. I've decided that my focus for this coming summer will be "I'm Ready," based off April 18th in Oswald Chambers. Exodus 3:4 says "God called to him... and he said 'Here I am.'" Often I delay God's calling on my life. I postpone his divine appointments. But I'm ready to to be ready no matter when or what He calls me too. I'm ready to grow even closer to God, worship Him more fully, and serve Him in courage. Next year will hopefully not let me only learn more about God and service, but apply it in a very new way. No matter what happens, I'm ready! :)
Meanwhile, my senior year is coming to an end. As the curtains close, I want to take any chance I can to encourage my classmates. By the grace of God, I get to speak at our graduation. It's such a blessing since I've had class of 2011 on my heart for so long, and now I get to speak in front of all of them. It will be difficult, no doubt, but I completely see God's hand on this.
