I'm Excited
I’m sitting at my desk with a bag a baby carrots and a mug of coffee to my right. To the left my piles of Educational Psychology sit to remind me of the work ahead. I got a sack lunch this morning so that I could work on my portfolio while I ate. Well, I’ve made so much progress that I decided it was time to take a break and give God some praise for all He has done in my life.I am a week away from completing my freshman/sophomore year of college. God has given me amazing friends who have helped me grow in faith and in fun. God didn’t have to send me to college, but He did. He didn’t have to give me the sweet pleasure of Christian fellowship, but He did. He didn’t have to provide an awesome Church for worship, but He did. God has taken care of my every need- and surpassed my greatest expectations. He loves me. I know, it’s a profound thought, but truly, it still takes my breath away that He loves me. He didn’t have to.
Basically, I just wanted to take a moment to thank Him. God is a great God with a great plan. His plan is full of pain because pain brings us closer to Christ. His plan is full of joy because He has seen fit to give us the pleasure of delighting in this life and in Him. His plan is full of beauty because He is a beautiful God and we are made in His image. His plan is fully adventure because He likes to display His faithfulness. I’m excited about God today. I’m excited to see what He’s going to do with me and the people around me, that we love. I am excited to see Jesus come. I’m excited about heaven. I’m excited about the glory that He will receive will every knee bows and every tongue confesses that He is LORD!
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true,
whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

oh, we do serve such a good God! He gives us so many things, none of which are deserved. What a beautiful thing to know that He delights in His children! I'm excited for you, dear Becca. And I'm also excited for me...because we serve the same faithful Lord!
p.s. I'm praying for you in your finals.
Have you given up on posting?
You are probably too busy with classes which is good.
Stay focused missy and know that I love you.
