Walk 11

I did it guys.

I moved back.

It wasn't as bad as I thought it could've been.

Some of my friends and I had a movie night.

....

Now

we 

have 

a 

problem.

OH NO.

OH NO.

OH NO.

Where is my chemistry class??

It's not on my schedule anymore.

This can't happen.

Why is it not there?

This. is. not. good.

Seriously, after I finish this post God and I are going to have a chat.

More like, I'm going to freak out to Him and have faith that He'll make it work out.

Good things on the 11th of January:

My bed is on the bottom.

 

I know you can't see it at all, but I promise it's Lilo and Stitch playing!

• Packing up all my stuff to take to college.
• Having some friends help me get my stuff in and then going to Walmart with them.
• Meeting my new roommate and unpacking everything.
• Eating dinner with Savannah and Emily.
• Having a movie night with Savannah, Emily, Bradley, Justin, and Justin's roommate Charles.
• Reading Walk 11.
• Knowing God will take care of my school issues if I just have faith.

Today really was a good day until I discovered I don't have a chemistry class anymore.

So today's reading was about Issac's son, Jacob, stealing Esau's blessing from Isaac. It was also about Jacob obtaining his wife, Rachel, and all the drama that went along with that.

Jacob had to work 7 years to earn Rachel, and then got tricked into taking her sister Leah for his wife.

Then Jacob worked another 7 years just so he could have Rachel.

He seriously loved her.

I think it's sort of a beautiful, tragic romance.

Anyways, what I really learned from today's reading was perseverance and faith.

Jacob persevered and worked for 14 years to get the girl he loved as his wife.

He even worked 6 more years tending to their father's flock in order to build up his own flock.

Jacob also had a tremendous amount of faith in God.

He had faith that God would bless him and protect him.

Guess what.

Chicken butt?

No, silly! God did protect him and bless him.

You know, I just realized something.

As I've been reading through the Bible, I've been commenting on how great so-and-so's faith was or how much they trusted God.

And I've prayed and wanted to have an absolute trust like that.

Maybe starting out this school year on a panicked note is just God's way of testing me some.

To see if I'm really serious about it.

The thing that kind of scares me a bit is that maybe this is only a small test.

What if there's bigger ones to come?

But it'll be okay.

Because I'll trust God instead of trying to handle it myself.

Plus, the Bible tells us that God doesn't give us any temptation or challenge that we can't overcome through Him.

Let's see what this year brings us. :)
