huh - makes you think
I'm sitting here at my desk thinking about everything.
I'm leaving for the airport to go to Alabama in about 12 1/2 hours. What sucks is that it's only 4:30-ish...and I still have a lot ahead of me this evening/night. I'm packed as much as I can be right now. But, I still have to go to Poli Sci for 3 hours and then have a stupid floor meeting. A stupid floor meeting that will cut into my precious sleeping time. Is there ever really a point to floor meetings? I think not.
But anyway, back to the important issues. I'm excited to go to Alabama. I'm excited to meet the people and the students and see the city. And I'm also looking forward to just being there and feeling it out. I wonder if this is the place that God is going to want me to be?
And then when I think about that, I start thinking about Texas...and South Carolina...and England. Oh England...the place where my heart wants to be. (Men with accents!) Anyway, I'm just trying to stay calm and peaceful in this place. I got some great advice today. It was: "it's way more about His ability to guide you than it is about your ability to follow". This is true. If I just give it up...God will guide me. I have no doubt in that. My mentor has told me time and time again, "Jen, God wants you to know His will. He's not going to hide it from you." And it makes you think....
Why are people always afraid that they're not going to do God's will?? If they would just give it all up to God and just stay focused on Him and His greatness and majesty, God will guide them. God doesn't want us to fail. God wants nothing more than for us to do His will. Why would He guide us to failure? He wouldn't. He is a God of love and a God of wisdom and knowledge. He knows what He's doing. And He knows all. And He knows if I'm trusting and He knows where my heart really is.
I'll let y'all know how it goes....
Prayer Requests:
* My Leanne - her back
* My cousin Mary - She's super stressed about school. She's a senior, triple major, at Gannon University, and they're trying to get her to take a medical leave for the rest of the semester 'cause she's missed a lot of classes. All this would do is screw her over and make her stay at Gannon for an extra year. And all that's doing is making everything more difficult.
* Wisdom - Discernment - Truth
* Texas - South Carolina - England - Alabama
peace all,
