This Summer...

This summer has really been a humbling experience and I really sense God's presence and I just feel Him speaking to me and ccalling me. From me failing 3 courses in school and being stressed and learning to trust Him and have faith in Him...to teaching Sunday school, being on worship team, having conversations with friends, being a group leader in retreat...and of course the upcoming missions trip. I just feel like this summer...not getting a job a decision I'm really glad I made...besides giving me time to loaft, go to the gym, ball and chill with friends...it really allows me to take time to read the bible, do devos and connect and get closer with God. This summer, which isn't even over yet...God has taught me so much...that just cuz you know about Him, doesn't mean you know Him. That the strongest people in faith, the smartest people or the people who've grown up in church...they can fall away just like that. That walking with God isn't gonna be easy, but it'll be worth it. That the plan I have for myself may not be the plan God has for me. That He has the blueprint in His hands, He knows everything will be okay..I just need to trust Him and lean not on my own understanding, but His understanding. There's so many things I could say that God has done or is doing in me right now...or the lessons He's been teaching me...and this summer isn't even over yet. I'm so excited and I can't wait to see what God has in store for me and the plan He has for me...all I know is that as long as He is by my side, I will not fail...and when I fall, He will pick me up.
