A few days ago I attended Moody Bible Institute for Day One, anyone familiar with it? Basically it's like a day in the life of an MBI student. I really liked it as it confirmed a few things for me. Such as: I'll definitely be going there next year. And this year I am definitely doing an internship with the same church I worked at over the summer in La Villita while taking some classes at our community college.
God is good! He is so patient with me, and is continually showering me with forgiveness for my impatience. It doesn't seem to make sense, but even though He has proved Himself numerous times, I still find it difficult trusting Him in EVERY area of my life (do I hear an amen?). When it comes to surrendering my dreams I really put up a fight (a fight against an Almighty, Sovereign God. Stupid, yes I know). One verse that has really been an encouragement to me is 1 Timothy 1:12b (KJV for a change)
"...for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep that what I have committed to Him until that Day."
It gets me thinking, do I really know whom I have believed in? If so, then why don't I trust Him to keep my passions, dreams and visions until the day I can use them to their full extent to bring Him glory? If I don't, then maybe it's time to take a break from everything else and get reacquainted with my God. My song for last year (Every year I try to come up with a song that sums up the whole year) was My Savior God by Aaron Shust, because I felt I that it really spoke of God as a Father. But this year, I want Him to be even more then that. I want Him to be my all. So this is the song I hope I'll be able to sing with heart by the end of this year:
I grew up in Sunday school
I memorized the golden rule
And how Jesus came to set the sinner free
I know the story inside out
And I could tell you all about
The path that led Him up to calvary
But ask me why He loves me and I don't know what to say
But I'll never be the same
Because He changed my life when He became
Everything to me
He's more then a story
More then words on a page of history
He's the air that I breath
He's the water I thirst for
He's the ground beneath my feet
He's everything, everything to me
We're living in uncertain times
And more and more I find that I'm aware
Of just how fragile life can be
I want to tell the world I found
A love that turned my life around
They need to know that they can taste and see
Now everyday I'm praying
Just to give my heart away
I want to live for Jesus
So that someone else might see that He is
Everything to me
He's more then a story
More then words on a page of history
He's the air that I breath
He's the water I thirst for
He's the ground beneath my feet
He's everything, everything to me
And looking back over my life at the end
I'll go to meet you saying you've been
Everything to me
You're more then a story
More then words on a page of history
You're the air that I breath
You're the water I thirst for
You're the ground beneath my feet
You're everything, everything to me
Forever and Always in Christ,
-Sarah
