A more serious note

Ok no I haven't given up on blogging just havent had much to say. So as we all know now is that wonderful time of the year when papers start coming due and exams are only around the corner as well. I can hardly believe that another year is closing and pretty soon it will be summer again. And then only 1 more year till I am off to seminary. '

The last couple weeks have been a bit of a eye and soul opener. After talking to people at saturday at the sem I think I am finally starting to figure out what I am going to be doing for the remainder of my life. It seems weird to know pretty much what I will be doing in the coming years, this is the first time I have been truely excited about were I am going and what God is trying to use me for. This time last year I was very unsure of why I had come to Concordia and what I was striving for. But know only a year later I have come to learn what it is I am being called to do. Now dont get me wrong there are still some fuzzy areas (ex. where/who exactly I will be living with during seminary) but mostly at this point the path is clear. I am sure there will be times where this path may fade and I may not quite know where I am going but I have more confidance now that it will be all taken care of.

It seems kind of dumb to me that I am only just now learning these lessons that God will provide and God will show me what I am to do; especially since I have been reciting them over and over again at church but I guess I just wasn't taking enough to heart. It's kind of funny how God works and it is truely a mystery.

I guess mainly I want to let everyone know that if you are lost or confused at this point in your life don't worry. God will reveal to you what you need to know at the right times. Don't worry about where you are going or how you are getting there God knows. I've found that the best way to have these questions answered is to pray. The answers won't come right away, I prayed for a long time to know where I was going and I am only being answered just now and even then not all of everything I've prayed for has been answered.

I guess that now with all the stress of tests and papers I just wanted to remind people to not worry and that everything will turn out the way it should and to pray. And if something like a test doesnt go the way you want it to remember that your way is usually flawed and we need to follow Gods way that he has set out for us. Ya thats all I have right now (sorry no jokes). Talk to ya all later.
