Lately, wherever I am, "take heart" or some variation thereof has been surfacing. I kid you not. I read my Bible, there it is. I listen to a song, oh, surprise, there is it again. I go to church, and what verse do they use? One with that phrase. I guess God's trying to tell me something.
This year, my theme seems to be trying to decide what to pursue.
Last week, I was taking a study break with one of my friends, and he asked me where I saw myself in 10 years. This is the time when my brain throws out every plan or idea it has ever had and leaves me in the dust. I came up with some lame, vague answer about teaching or working in a church. What. The. Heck. Yeah, I'm just trying to be super impressive with my lack of specific goals in my life. Needless to say, that question he asked has been on my mind a lot. It's a good question. I just don't have the answer yet.
But it doesn't end there. In one of my Bible classes, we have to do a project on fasting, worship, or solitude. I chose solitude (probably one of the best choices I've ever made). Here's what I've learned so far:
-God does not make promises He's not going to keep
-God has already overcome everything I worry about (so my worrying is pointless)
-Your relationship with God doesn't have to be complicated
Let's just say it's been the best part of my weekend.
