Assured and Blessed
Well, it's Friday. I've finished my classes for the week and just have enough time before OCF to consider a small part of what God's been doing in my life this week and try to relate it to you. There's so much to tell and if you had seen the email I wrote to my dad (and mum) just the other day and known how small a part it was of what was on my heart, you just might be amazed!
Just yesterday alone was a phenomenal glimpse of God in and around my life! I spent the majority of it with a somewhat new-found-friend and it was so wonderful to see how God was working in her life and how for at least yesterday I could be a small part of it. I would give details but I feel like it's more of her testimony than mine.Whatever the case, it was definitely a cause for celebration and rejoicing- truly ALL the GLORY goes to God!
The other things I speak of, I guess can be lumped together as one massive answer to prayer and that would be 'assurance'. There seems to be a mountain of changes blowing in my direction and change often means uncertainly which often leads to some sort of worry or panic or anxiety. For example, with my conditional offer for the PGCE next year comes a whole bunch of requirements, administration, new responsibilities and so on. It made me think again if this is really God's plan for my life or is it something that sounded good to me or just something I wanted to do. Is this MY plan instead of God's? Definitely a lot of similar questions came along though I trust whoever is reading this will have had similar thoughts.
It's been an amazing growing week and God has assured me of so many things in so many ways. In fact just a couple of hours ago, I got an email from my dad which was really encouraging. It was also good to talk to a couple of friends who I haven't spoken to in a LONG while and just pick up where we left off. Praise the Lord for such friends!
Well, as you all know, I can always go on and on but you find me today struggling to find words to organise my thoughts so I'll stop there.
If there's one thing that I've felt most this week that I didn't really get to cover is that It is great to be used of God to bless the ones we love and if we can bless the even the ones that we may not love then that it is even more amazing!
