This week has been a little long - preparing for classes, preparing for grad/sem stuff, and making mistakes have been some of the adventures the week has held. Yet in it all I can say one thing: God is at work. He is constantly at work drawing me to himself against the cry of the busyness and need to get things done. He has been at work quieting my heart and reminding me of His love. The Holy Spirit has been at work prompting me with words or restraining them at various times.
I love it because it's not about me. At all. God desires His glory to be known; He desires first for me to know His love, beauty and glory and rest in it. He wants me to take that knowledge and assurance and to spread it to the ends of the earth or simply to my neighbor. But it's not about the fact that I am doing it by any means. It is the fact that God is working. He is on the move and I am so excited to see Him move this next year.
Right on. I read a scripture sort-of about this last night, Isaiah 42:16: "And I will lead the blind in a way that they do not know, in paths that they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I do, and I do not forsake them."
