However, as we come out of this cold, dead season, we come into a season that brings new beginnings- and change. Though the change of seasons is always a welcome one, the life changes that occur aren't always so welcome.
This spring, my world will be rocked with change. Not only are all of my roommates graduating and moving on to do great things in the world, some of my sweet sweet Young Life girls are graduating high school. One of my friends will be gone for 11 months venturing around the world doing ministry.
And with all this change happening around me, I am here.
The realization that my bubble I've lived in for 4 years now is bursting.. well that's scary.
I feel so much fear. In all this fear, I've felt the Lord telling me one thing over and over.
Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10
Be still.
Wait, quietly. Trust.
Know that I am God.
I find so much peace in those words.
Know that I will take care of you. Know that I have a grander plan that you could dare imagine. Know that I am greater than the fear than consumes you. I am your Lord. Do you believe that?
What would my life look like if I truly believed in my heart that the Lord is constant and unchanging. That He has a far grander plan for my life than I can envision.
I pray that as I move through seasons of life and uncertainty that the Lord will remind me of his great plan for me. I pray the Lord will remind me that He is in control. That I can give up trying and planning and just be still. Rest in Him. Trust Him.
I pray this for my sweet friends graduating high school. I pray that I show them Jesus. I pray that they see what it means to follow the Lord and desire more of Him. I pray they leave high school with hearts for Jesus. That all of the time spent in campaigners and at club and one on one isn't in vain.
