Thankful for another semester of making memories and running the race of life with these great friends 💗 • • • Making new friends and deepening existing friendships at CCU these last few months has been so sweet! I’m continually thankful for how the people God has put in my life push me to grow and pursue sanctification. There’s been so many great memories from KLIFE, Wednesday night hockey, skiing, the dice game, hacky sack, spikeball, funny movie nights, and late night convos. In these times, I’m thankful for how I’ve seen the Lord work in my heart and other’s. At the start of this semester, I made the all too confident claim to myself that I don’t really struggle with trusting God’s will. I probably thought this because of the countless ways I needed and learned to trust God this past summer, but boy did I learn that there’s still plenty of room for growth. It’s easy to say that you should just trust God when you like where God seems to be leading you. It’s much harder when He tells you to let go and give Him something you care about. But David’s words, that in God’s presence there is fullness of joy, ring so true. These last few months have brought so much joy that I never anticipated. Following the Lord and getting to participate in His plan has brought me more joy than anything else. I don’t always understand the process or like when God closes doors, but His ways are higher than mine. His understanding is perfect when mine is limited and flawed. That’s why we can only trust Him. I still have a long way to go in trusting God’s will, as someone who likes to be in control and feel secure, but I know who holds the world in His hands. My God has good plans. Here’s to another semester of learning to not lean on our own understanding, to trusting God’s perfect plans that are far better than what we can even imagine :)
