“The Lord gives his people strength. The Lord blesses them with peace.” (Psalm 29:11)

I have officially completed my second year of college. This year was ten times better than the first. It’s funny to know how stressed I was about managing my time properly for this semester. I took on a lot and these last couple of weeks feel like they were the most stressful. I was honestly crying almost every day last week. Now that  I get to see the storm pass and all be well, I begin to think how silly it was of me to ever worry so much in the first place. I’m alive and well solely by the grace of God. Psalm 29:11 was a key verse for me this semester. I will continue to find truth in that verse no matter my circumstances.

I don’t know if I have ever grown so much in five months. I have watched myself take such leaps of faith. I have stepped out more frequently proclaiming my faith in God. I have such a greater yearning to draw closer to the things of God and want nothing to come in between Him and I. This is only just the beginning, for I know there is so much more God is going to do in the next seven months. There’s going to be tons of healing, restoration, breakthroughs, fulfilled promises. I cannot wait to see God continue to move mightily in not only my life but others as well. 

I have learned to trust God more often. To seek Him more often. It hasn’t been easy with so many things desiring my attention. My past has tried to come up so many times, and I’ve had to learn to let it all go and be healed from it. That healing process hasn’t been the easiest or the fastest (as much as I want it to be). I have learned to be content with the time and place where I am in my life. To just be in that moment as opposed to want to jump ahead. There have been several moments where I’ve cried out to God asking Him to remove certain feelings, but He doesn’t and makes me bare it out with Him instead. Those are some monumental times for He and I where I can solely rely on Him to get me through those emotions. The last five months have been absolutely beautiful. I can’t imagine the next seven.
