I finally have decided to start blogging and I am pretty excited about it. For my first post I wanted to share some thoughts about the upcoming spring semester and give praise to our wonderful Saviour, Jesus Christ. First off, the new semester is about to begin and I am so ecstatic/nervous. New semesters always bring excitement and new beginnings but I want this semester to be different than any other.
1. Use my time with an eternal perspective
2. Focus on others and not myself
3. Seek first His glory
4. Trust in His faithfulness and plans
5. Share the gospel with boldness
6. Reach out to friends who do not know the Lord
7. Speak with love and grace not just truth
8. Let go of my control issues and let Him lead
9. Learn more scripture and challenge myself
10. Above all, bring him glory and make His name famous
Life brings many unexpected twists and turns. I personally hate sudden or unplanned events. These are the things that make life "interesting" and eventful. In certain aspects of my life I prefer order,schedules, and ultimately control. But this morning as I was reading Jesus Calling this line jumped out at me- Disruptions to your routine highlight your dependence on Me. I immediately began to think of how angry I get when things in my schedule go wrong . PTL for showing me where I constantly mess up and reminding me there is hope found in Him.
For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us
a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! -2 Corinthians 4:17.
Again, another thing me and JC are trying to work out and hopefully improve in the days to come
