It's been so long since I've put pen to paper in writing my thoughts. I'm learning a lot about what it means to live with joy. One of my classmates Lance mentioned I've Got the Joy by Page CXVI and how in life's low points, that is where we need joy. Spring semesters have always been harder because of it being longer, having just been home and leaving again, and friends' graduations coming up--causing one to wonder what spontaneous event may bring you together again.
I've been learning that living at home has allowed me to hear a lot of wise words that have followed me here:
1. Keep the main thing the main thing, and the main thing ain't you.
2. Always bring a umbrella even though the forecast doesn't seem to be accurate, 'cause you never know
3. Pray for many opportunities to practice patience rather than praying to be patient
4. Always try your best to tell the truth.
5. God is always there, just pray. God knows what's best for you.
I've been reminded of these few phrases lately, through God's faithfulness.
I know God has me where I am with good reason and I love what I'm studying (Youth Ministry). I will be taking music classes (Music Theory), and various electives to fill the non-required classes space I have from now until graduation. I am SO excited.
Lately I am burdened with concern for a certain friend, and I'd like you to pray for them. I'm not going to release their name, but God knows exactly what they need.
I'm looking forward to going home in a month and am stunned I'm almost done with half of college. 😧
