Hello Adulthood
It’s my birthday. My 21st. What in the what.
[Thoughts on] Provision
I am busy. I am tired. I am stressed. Things need to get done. I shouldn’t even be taking the time to type this. But I figured I’d write about the moment I had this afternoon. In the middle of me worrying about getting things done, about remembering everything that needs to get done, about my future in general, I received a package from home. I got back to my room, opened it up, and pulled out 4 boxes of cereal, and milk (that apparently doesn’t need to be refrigerated). To you, this might not seem like much, but I LOVE/NEED cereal, and since I’ve been saving money as of late, I had nothing but 2 apples in my food supply. I was extremely thankful. Then, I noticed that a note was at the bottom of the box. It was from my mom, and it had Proverbs 16:3 right in the middle of it.
“Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.”
Right then and there, all the stress and worry that I felt was replaced with peace. I know that in whatever I have to do, God’s got it all under control. He’ll provide. Whatever he wants to happen will happen. And that’s that.
Jeremiah 29:13
“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”

Oh God, I need it! Well I was wrong again. Take me to the river and make me clean again!

It was a beautiful letdown,
It was a beautiful letdown,
The day I knew,
That all the riches this world had to offer me would never do.

I don’t really listen to Tenth Avenue North, but this song started playing in the van while I was driving today. Really hit home.
This is what I’ve been doing this summer. It feels like so many things are not going my way, probably because they’re not. But, I still have plenty to be thankful for, and I still consider myself to be overwhelmingly blessed. I realize that this is just a down in the up’s and down’s of life. However, until I’m out of this rut, I will continue to bang my head against the wall. So if you’ll excuse me…

Is your love really love?
Is my love really love?
I think our love isn’t love
unless it’s love to the end.
Is your God really God?
Is my God really God?
I think our God isn’t God
if he fits inside our head.
Is my love really love?
I think our love isn’t love

Is my God really God?
I think our God isn’t God

These lyrics really hit home for me. Always makes me think and reflect. Great stuff.

This post is long overdue, but better late than never. This is Sarah. She’s pretty much amazing. I waited a long time for her to come along. One day we’ll take a picture together with better lighting. Until then…
Welp, Spring Break 2010 was a success. Also, this happened.
Spring Break. It’s finally here.
In my exactly 19 1/2 years (Happy Half-Birthday to me!), I’ve struggled with waiting for God’s timing. It always seems like we see every situation clearly and that our timing would be the best. Time and time again, I’ve found that when I allow myself to wait for God’s timing, things work out better than I could have ever imagined. This post is a reminder of that fact.

That’s right, you can quote me on that.
I found this today. I laughed.
