Here and Now

It is December and I am sort of dazed that the semester is almost over and not quite feeling like I am back at school. But the reality is that I am, and that I have another full week of classes and then finals. Only then can I rejoice in winter break.
I was in my Old Testament class today and was struck by a wonderful truth: God really knows what he was doing in bringing me to seminary at this time. I know, crazy to think of that now, right? But as I'm here sifting through what will be next, contemplating what to study, dealing with health issues as well as processing this whole transition I see so clearly that being here where the Word is constantly preached to me is a blessing. It feels like anytime I've come to a place of struggle or confusion I've been provided with a new and fresh reminder of God's love and grace through classes, professors and friends. He has brought me to such a safe place to be in this time of transition. What a great God we serve.
So as I continue to seek "what's next" and seek to follow God with all my heart, soul, mind and strength, I can continue to rejoice in his goodness and grace and have confidence in his leading and wisdom.
