As of about 45 minutes ago, I am officially a 2012 staffer for Crossings Camps! I could not be happier about it, and I am so thankful that God put such an amazing opportunity in my path.
This is something that has consumed my prayer life for the past week. God, your will be done. The thought of spending my entire summer pouring out and digging into the gospel makes me want to jump up and down.. literally. I'm not gonna say I did that for about ten minutes straight after the phone call..but I did. (plus all those girls in the picture, total insanely awesome sisters I want in my life!) Anyways, the coolest thing about getting that phone call today was how God spoke to me through it, in so many ways. This afternoon was my U.S. History II final and needless to say it beat me..Seriously though, how discouraging is it when you spend SO long and put so much into making a good grade in a class and it still wasn't enough? Well thank goodness HIS grace IS enough. I felt like it was taking every ounce of strength I had to get back to hitting the books for my next final. I was talking with my friend Paul, and it was definitely one of those times that one thing falls and then everything else in your life that isn't going how you'd like it seems 10 X's worse too all of a sudden. I just broke down on him about how I was so ready to go home, get away from school, and study my savior and His word all day everyday, not this Nixon and Bush nonsense. My bad attitude quickly turned into how confused I was about my path with my major and when I am going to get the chance to go out, away from this school, and spread the love for my Jesus and serve Him with my ALL. Don't get me wrong, I know I can do all those things just as much here in my mission field at CN, but come on, I am so eager!! Anyways, as soon as I was about to let that one Debby downer moment affect the rest of my day..my cell phone rang:) Technically it was Victoria from Crossings calling me, but it was also God. He was telling me to relax. He has a perfect plan for me that is unfolding more and more everyday. He was telling me to not get discouraged, or lose heart. Keep running. He has everything under control.
How dare I question that for a second. Trust that God's ways are always right and know that every step of obedience you take today, will take you one step closer into the future He has planned for you:)
God promises & He will deliver.
REMINDER: A future filled with hope & blessings doesn't just happen automatically, we have to keep abiding;
1. seek God and pray about your future.
2. be diligent to obey Him.
"Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”
-Isaiah 30:21
Father,
Thank you for the good plans you have for me. Help me to obey you in every are of my life so I don't do anything that would hurt your perfect and pleasing will. Help me hear your voice, every step of the way. I ask that you would help me to trust you and your ways. I love you with all of my heart.
your daughter,
Lexi
