It being Tuesday means my classes were done at 10:45 (a.m.) today. It is kind of tough getting up for my 8 o'clock class, but it feels good not sleeping my day away. For some odd reason over the past year, I have turned into more of a morning person and less of a night person. Weird. I guess that is a real sign of me getting older ha-ha! One thing I find very helpful for putting a positive mood on my day is by diving into the Word. I usually read a devotion book by Sarah Young called Jesus Calling. It is basically personal letters to you from Christ. It is a constant reminder that when you stay in close contact with Jesus throughout the day, you can't help but have joy and peace.
One thing I am struggling with right now is faith in what I feel God is leading me to do. As of right now, I am planning to study abroad next semester in Sydney, Australia (hopefully I will still be into blogging so I can keep you updated while I am there). I know, 19 year old girl across the world, it's crazy to think about but I feel like it is where I need to go. I was honestly questioning whether I was going to even be at AU next year. But by doing my best to trust in God to lead me where I need to be, I really feel Anderson is the place for me. I am a big dreamer. I love to travel. And getting the opportunity to study abroad, I could never ever pass that up. The only thing is the plane ticket will cost me my arm and leg ha-ha! But I have my mind set to come up with the money on my own. Now I am just praying God will send a job my way, unless He creates a money tree first! Now wouldn't that be nice! But faith is my biggest struggle. I mean saying you have faith that God is going to do something in your life is one thing, but actually really believing it is 100x harder. It really is. But I am doing my best to put complete trust and FAITH in my God.
I also have the opportunity to go on a mission trip over spring break to Panama City, FL with the BCM here at Anderson. So if you could keep that in your prayers that would be greatly appreciated.
As you can tell, I am very unsure of what I am suppose to be doing or where I am suppose to be. But God never leaves and I know He is doing something spectacular. I read something a few days ago that says remember, "the teacher is always silent during the test." And I'm not sure how I feel about putting God in the same category as a teacher, but I know He wants complete trust from me. So I will wait for His answer.
I am getting ready to go have some quality time with some great friends! So until my next blog, remember that even when you have no idea what God is doing in your life, expect great things to happen. All good things in your life come from Him!
It feels so good to share this verse because it is basically my life verse. Every time I have an uncertainty in my life, God always reminds me of this promise.
"Trust in the Lord with all of your heart. Lean not on your own understandings, in all ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths."
Proverbs 3:5-6
