Not too much has been going on in my life since I returned from Kanakuk at the end of June. The Lord did such a work while I was there (and I am sure continued to do so past my term). I can't describe how much I miss it. The world always hits you a bit harder when you return to the real world. Sin and its repercussions just sting and bite a bit harder, a bit more, when you return to civilization.
But now I have 3 weeks before I move out and am on my own.
I have never felt more petrifiedexcitednervousanxiousjoyous in my entire life.
I know I am in the Lord's will and plans for my life and He is guiding my foot steps, but I still feel anxious, which I know should not be the case if my full trust is in Him.
As I sit here though, at 2:30 a.m. on a Friday night, I am realizing I do feel His overwhelming peace. I feel as if I am standing in the middle of a hurricane as the world and storms blow past me, and yet I am completely safe in it all.
God has great plans for A&M. I can feel it in my bones. I have visions of what I picture college life like and the work that will be done in me while I am there and those I am in contact with; however, His plans are far greater than my own, which only excites me more.
So here I stand, on the edge of a cliff, ready to dive into this new chapter of my life.
Ready or not, here I come for He is always ready.
Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: “I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god. Who is like me? Let him proclaim it. Let him declare and set it before me, since I appointed an ancient people. Let them declare what is to come, and what will happen. Fear not, nor be afraid; have I not told you from of old and declared it? And you are my witnesses! Is there a God besides me? There is no Rock; I know not any.” Isaiah 44:6-8 ESV
