So every single time I sit and write boy do I love it! I think its because I like the idea of someone reading about me... and where the Lord is taking me. But also the idea of being a blogger excites me! So maybe one day these post will have a little of more of a purpose. For now in my lack of routine of a life I will write randomly.
Fall has always been my favorite season and I get excited as it s l o w l y approaches here in Charleston. Fall is also so busy. As far as ministry goes we get back into the swing of things and attempt to storm the campus! My days are full of meeting new people, coffee dates, endless nights in the dorms, and planning for it all. It all seems to pass by so quickly because with fall comes the anticipation of the holidays!
In the midst of the randomness of each week the Lord has been so faithful to slow me down. I feel as though I am in such a sweet season. The Lord has been so gracious in revealing to me a lot about my character and the strengths and weaknesses in that. One of the biggest things I've known but the Lord has been uniquely pointing out and teaching me is that of my desire to control. Control self, control others, control my day, and the list could go on. Recently in areas where I have been completely out of control I have grown anxious and worrisome. Two things I rarely experience. My mom worries enough for us all so I generally let her do that for us all. In this I am continually reminded of that even the areas where I seem to control is just an illusion. I have been challenged to trust, to take steps forward, and what risk really means. This hasn't been easy for me but it has been so sweet. Seeing that peace lies in the arms of Jesus. Trusting him not just for "Big" things but every little step every day. Trusting that my labor isn't in vain. Trusting that He does have a plan. Trusting that I have been chosen to be set apart. Trusting and leaning into God's promises and truths.
So I sit here and pray that Fall continues to come slowly and the Lord continues to point to areas in my heart that I need to just trust! May this season last forever!
