Duh...

So today before my Discipleship group (d-group) met, I went to the student learning center (SLC) to read and journal a little bit. But on my way to the outside "patio" I ran into my friend Bobby. We began to talk about his "growing up" and graduating. It's so crazy how fast everything goes... He's going to China in august for a year, so we began to talk a little about that. And as our conversation began to unravel and my words just came into reality, I realized that there is less and less of reason for me to remain in the states after I graduate. As I journaled my words echoed in my head. It all boils down to this: All my desires, thoughts, and passions say go; Society and comfortableness say stay. What does God say?

"Delight yourself in the Lord; And He will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4

I know that this verse is quoted so often, but it IS God's word. And as (I pray) I'm delighting myself in Him, He has me (and my desires) at UGA right now. And I must live in the Now and not in the future. I know these things. But the Lord is preparing me... maybe to be gone in the next few years. Maybe not. I know that He has gifted me with the desire to help people both physically and of course spiritually. Africa is on my heart... has been for a while. But who knows. I could plan but only His cousel will stand. Jeremiah 29:11-14 rings in my body... It comforts me. So, I can't be scared, although I am; I can't worry, although I do. All of this is foolishness because the Lord is good and it is HE that reigns. Therefore all is well! Duh...
