How great is our GOD!

 

    

    Happy Friday! It has been a crazy week around here at school filled with coffee, plants and gorgeous sunrises. I feel like the weeks are flying by. Spring break is right around the corner, and I cannot wait! I will have the opportunity to drive home for the week and spend some time with my family. I am kinda hoping that gas goes down a little bit before then though lol. 

    National plant day is Saturday 3/12! Take this opportunity to get yourself a new houseplant, I know I am going to. In honor of the holiday, we are going to plant carrots after class in Kindergarten. I love plants if you can’t tell yet. 

    This week the Lord was working on my heart about my situation and how I was approaching some things I am working through right now. I wrote the following in my journal on Thursday and I wanted to share it with you. I know this is different than my previous blog posts, but I thought it may be a blessing to someone.

    Our God is so amazing. surely many people could, and probably some do, ok at my situation as a simple stepping- stone in my life towards bigger things. While in the grand scheme of things, that may be true, I have the absolute fulfillment that only comes from being in the perfect will of God. 

    I longer can approach the day with the mindset or thought that this is ‘just a time filler’ or a simple stepping stone; Not to say I haven’t been doing my best, giving my all , or even that I wasn’t enjoying my job teaching, bit I was almost just counting the days until I could start deputation and begin ‘Gods calling for my life.’ It never really occurred to me that God’s will is right here where I am. It is obvious to me that God brought me to with, and just the thought I get to live Gods perfect will for my life everyday is overwhelming. 

    I have often heard, Gods will is daily, that serving Him where we are is a part of that plan. But somewhere in my mind that has never been a truth I was able to claim as my own. It could be, because I have known for so long that I was going to be a missionary in Brazil. I felt called at 13, everything else, wherever, and whatever, felt sub-par to that. While I definitely feel that Brazil is where God is moving me to serve, I can finally see that God has a plan for me everyday if I look for it. 

    Friend, maybe God has brought you somewhere that is obviously, temporary. Are you giving your all to please Him everyday and to serve Him? Remember, the God of your future is still the God of your today. How vital it is for us to acknowledge that and to serve Him wherever He has us right now. 

Thank you so much for reading! I look forward to writing again next Friday!
