Right now, God is working in my life in a lot of different ways. I've been having a lot of struggles about which school I'm going to attend and what God wants for my future. In my enrollments, mistakes have been made and minds have been changed. I've been forced to wait, be disappointed, and then sit down and wait again as my hopes rise to the ceiling. I think God's been
I'm a generally impatient person. I hate it when I plan to meet a friend and she's more than a few minutes late. When I have to wait, I start to feel fidgety and restless. I become extremely annoyed if I have to wait longer than six or seven minutes. Once I made Ali buy me something as penalty for making me wait thirty minutes. ;)
I can get impatient with God at times too. If I've been praying for something big in my life and He isn't seeming to answer, I start to feel angry and offended. But honestly, who am I to ask anything of God? I'm nothing compared to Him. I'm so blessed that He's given me worth at all.
Patience is something I need to learn and I think it's also something that God is slowly teaching me this year.
He's also teaching me selflessness. It's very easy to become self-absorbed during such a crazy time as this. Whether it's through the stories of those in third world countries who are dying each day from preventable issues like malaria and hunger or whether it's through small areas of my life like sharing my room with my best friend or learning what it's like to give up a piece of my schedule for someone else... God is slowly working in my life and teaching me how to be more self-sacrificing.
And of course, God is working in my life by showing me that He's there. I mean, this is my senior year. I have only a month left of school. Life is pretty crazy right now. Yet God is here. He's taking care of me. He loves me and He reminds me of that each and every day.
Here are today's questions.
1.) How is God working in your life right now?
2.) Are there any struggles that you're going through? Any prayer requests?
