Ever had one of those moments where you're really not sure if you want to continue on the path that you're on? Perhaps feeling like it's not worth it? You might be feeling like there has to be some other way that God can work things out for His purpose and your place in it?
As I sat and dropped and added and added and dropped courses to my schedule I began to feel just a little frustrated, a little upset a little bit like I wanted to change paths. In fact snot may have been freely flowing. I sat there a little frustrated because I knew that I was where God had placed me but it didn't feel like the most ideal situation. And as I sat there and cried and sniffed the background noise of the radio came into focus and this is what was being read, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28. So now I was laughing, like an idiot, and crying. It was not a pretty picture.
But all I could think while I was sitting there staring at all of my scribbles about courses and days and terms and plans was "God, you would." Sometimes I think we need that reminded that it is about His purpose and His plan and that He is working for good for me not for bad. This doesn't mean that sometimes things aren't ideal or even nice. This does mean though that I know that He is working for the good of me because I love Him and follow His call....
