I arrive on the 5th of June! I was really nervous and driving Michael crazy.
After the first night there I was ready to come home, just because I wasn't really fitting in and all these folks were weird to me. Well the first week came and gone and God began to work! That week I had a quiet time every morning before it was time to work! Just the extra time with the Father helped me feel more comfortable in this place!
In a lecture I had, I was asked if I allowed God to be apart of my life! Of course my first response to myself was YES! then I began to examine myself. I never spent near the time I should have in the word.
A year ago my pawpaw died and I had begun to think about all that went on last summer. I realized that at that point in my life my faith was shipwrecked! I never grieved the right way over it! Instead of allowing God to embrace me, I pushed him away! In doing that I just hurt myself in the long run!
I realized that God DOES help with EVERYTHING! even grief! If I had allowed Him to help me, I would have been able to see His mercy and Glory through it all!
So I look what I just typed and ask myself, I learned this in 1 week??? Yes it's true!!
Give it all to God! Even grief! One of my friends put it this way, "instead of pushing Him away, allow Him to embrace you and hold you through it!"
