mid-terms already?!
Psalm 130
Out of the depths I have cried to You, O LORD.
Lord, hear my voice!
Let Your ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplications.
If You, LORD, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
But there is forgiveness with You,
That You may be feared.
I wait for the LORD, my soul does wait,
And in His word do I hope.
My soul waits for the Lord
More than the watchmen for the morning;
Indeed, more than the watchmen for the morning.
O Israel, hope in the LORD;
For with the LORD there is lovingkindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.
Well this passage is definitely fitting. Wait on the Lord oh my soul! I wish I did that more often. School has been crazy and I apologize for the lack of updates. Amidst the bubble of school there are still cracks and imperfections. I got a job at our cafeteria a couple of weeks ago and as of now its going great. The only thing is that the head chef (who "trained" me) died suddenly of a heart attack 5 days after I met him at the age of 36. God is sovererign, amen?! Yes He is, even in that.
Recently I have had friends who have been getting sick, one of whom went to the ER only a couple of hours ago so please be praying for Kim and Steph that God would sustain them. And usually the most of my worries is homework and how clean or not clean my room is.
I've been searching for a long time for a church to become a member at and after almost 2 months of prayer and seeking I've finally been given peace on a church called Bullitt Lick. They have a passion for God's glory, the community is SO welcoming and I love the worship. I've been to the youth group to and just today I have finally felt that is where God has me. I will be looking to serve on the youth staff which will be a 1-year contract after 6 weeks of being watched by the youth pastor and staff. So I will begin that purpose after Fall break. :) I'm very excited!!!
Mid-terms are "almost" over. Just a few more days!!! Life on campus is hectic and will only get worse this week. BUT I will be coming home on Thursday and right after arriving will be leaving for Minneapolis, MN to do volunteer work at Piper's "The Soverignty of God is a Postmodern World" conference. I'll be staying w/ Ryan Griffith and coming home sometime Sunday night. I'll be home until the next Sunday. :) School is great and I love it here but I am eager to be home for a chance to breathe and see some old friends I have missed.
PRAYER:
-I don't get my first paycheck until Friday and I am low on funds, plus I will not even be here Friday so pray that God would provide.
-Mid-terms this week, tests and papers etc :-/
-Safety in travels back home and to MN
-That I would be able to focus on school, its so easy to not be focused...lets face it
-Also that I would seek to glorify God just as much on campus as off
Hopefully I will write again while at home!
