My mind was very distracted at work today, but after the weekend I had I think I have an excuse. And who doesn't love a good excuse or two!?
Being in my favorite little town, a tiny speck on a map, always makes me think of the time when I was there... all the time. A time when I saw those friends & family, weekly or even daily. I was always blessed, encouraged, strengthened, and challenged by those around me. I'm trying to decide if there was a time over the last [almost] 4 years that I was stronger in my faith than my senior year...
During my last year at CU my faith was always on my tongue, I knew God was in control of every step I took, any direction I headed, and that He would provide for all my needs. Not only did I trust Him, I had confidence in Him. He sent me to Spain and the Dominican Republic and then provided the job He wanted me to have.
I had a hard time readjusting to life at home when all of that was over, and without wanting it to happen or realize it was happening, I wasn't as close with God anymore. My relationship is stronger now, but I've realized it's not like it was when I was in Potsdam. And I want it to be.
I spent time while driving up and home memorizing some passages in the Bible. Wow, what an incredible way to use a 4 hour (one way) drive. I want His words to be what I speak. The testimonies I heard this weekend challenged me and encouraged me immensely. Asking a friend about how school was going turned into a challenge in my heart to continue to pray fervently for those I desire in my family to be saved. God changes hearts, not man. I want to sing His praises, all the days of my life.
"It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man" Psalm 118:8
