Just got home and came up to campus with my sister. Service tonight was wonderful... It was broadcasted via satillite in 77 locations in the U.S. It's the beginning of the Leadership Summit. Anyways, tonight the message was on focusing on God even through our circumstances. For example, do we get so caught up in the problems in our lives that we cannot see God and His plan for our lives? It's difficult to be in the midst of many problems in life and look past all that and remember that God is still working and divinely orchastrating His plans for us. Yes, He is still working when it looks dark to us. He is still working when we thought He forgot us. He is still working when we ignore Him. He is still working when nothing seems to be going right in our lives. It is truly amazing. The thing is sometimes this can be hard to accept... hard to accept that He still has His hand in it all when everything seems to be going wrong to you (wrong according to the plan you had for your life). I know I am dealing with that all now. I feel upset that the plan that I thought I wanted and God wanted for my life has been changed. Well, obviously, since the other half of my plan is in Heaven. I know, however, that God has a better view from His side of the sky on all of this. He can see things I cannot see. He knows what He is doing, and I just have to trust Him. That means even when I have no clue where He is leading me I just have to continuously reaffirm my trust in Him that I trust His plan. My plan was nice... it got my a ways down the road, but His plan is truly magnificent. I wouldn't trade his plan for anything. All I know is I have been having a kinda down week and this sermon tonight really spoke to me. I really thank God for that.
Lovely lyrics to a song... (I know I love music...)
Restored
by Jeremy Camp
All this time I've wandered around
Searching for the things I'll never know
I've been searching for this answer that
Only will be found in your love
And I feel it my heart is being mended by your touch
And I hear it your voice that's shown my purpose in this world
You have restored me from my feeble and broken soul
You have restored me (2x)
I've only come to realize my strength will be made perfect at your throne
Laying all reflections down to see the precious beauty that you've shown
And I feel it my heart is being mended by your touch
And I hear it your voice that's shown my purpose in this world
You have restored me from my feeble and broken soul
You have restored me (2x)Laying all these questions down
You've answered what I need You've given more than I deserve
You're making me complete
You've given all these open doors
I'm humbled at your feet
Because of what you've done for me
