So of course, life is moving fast. Faster than normal. Faster than I thought. Faster than I could have anticipated. As I look forward, there are certainly, a lot of uncertainties. Not to try to play with clever wordy rhymes and Christianese anthems that we hold onto all the time, I find myself at a lost of exactly what the next season looks like. Not to say that I'm in utter confusion and hopelessness, but rather I'm at a point of desperation. Desperation of Him. As I stood up last week to give a toast to one of my dear friends, I was reminded that God calls on us to live in faith, to not trust in our own understanding, or even our own actions. But rather He is simply asking us to give up what we think is ours and to give what is naturally His. And in return, He gladly returns what we give to Him with interest. I am not supposing that we should be people that give up in expectancy of a return from God, (Ex: God I'll give you this camera, as long as in return you give me back a D90 Nikon with all the specs I could possibly hope for). That's not how freely giving works. Freely giving with no strings attached. Anyway, as I was rambling, I was just thinking that life is calling me to live in faith in Him, because so much of my life I have lived my live in faith, but faith in myself. As I looked at my soon-to-be newly wed friends, I realized that there future was completely uncertain. BUT it puts them in a place of desperation and in need of Him in all things. Wouldn't that be a great place to be? Scary, yes. But living in faith right? Hebrews 11. Read it. Impossible to impress/please God without faith. Yes in 1st Peter, our faith more precious than gold, will fade away. But what has overcomed the world? Our faith. Presently I'm finding that faith and love is everything. Wordy Christian phrases: but nonetheless, Faith in Jesus (trusting Him in all things, with my job, with my school, with my relationships), Love of Jesus (in action and in truth according to His Word, I go to the world and love people, serve people, affirm people, reubke people). Most recently this is where I have been this semester: Crazy Love and Remain. I'll post the lyrics and video in the next few days. But that's where I have been.
