Sometimes zip za mouth!

Hello blog world. I have recently been thinking a lot about blogging...mainly because I am crazy busy and have a hard time staying in touch with friends (who in turn think something awful has happened to me when in reality I'm just a poor communicator :0), I have so much I'm learning, and there's so much God is revealing to me that I just want SPILL out and share..and a simple Facebook status is not enough room! I'm really hoping that I can stick to it this time, I know that's probably a common line heard from uncommitted bloggers :)

I've been praying a lot about this summer, and really seeking God in my decision. As I wrestle with what to do, where to go, and what organization to go with my sin of not having faith God will provide answers in His time smacks me upside the face.  I've found that I have a bad habit of trying to "work" for everything, instead of just resting in Him.  I know I've talked to a lot of people for advice and counsel...and I am SO grateful for Christian friends who are constantly praying for me.  I really feel like God has placed on my heart a certain specific desire in my heart.  I thought it was for this summer...but, now I'm beginning to believe it's a desire for the future- in His perfect timing. 

My situation reminds me of Joseph. God had given Joseph a vision- to be a great ruler. But what does Joseph do? He blabs and tells his brothers and father! He's then sold to slavery out of his brothers jealousy of this vision. Because of his boasting to these people instead of lifting his heart to God and waiting patiently, he allowed Satan to change the plans. 

What this means for me...I blab too much, which may explain why my plans are constantly changing. But it also shows me that although the ideas I had believed God was wanting for my summer have changed, this doesn't mean it wont ever happen. Is this making sense?

The beauty of the story isn't Joseph- it's God's faithfulness, and that is what I want to cling to. No matter what the circumstances in our life come to in the end- may His name be lifted high! And it will.

Have a blessed Superbowl Sunday. (I'm pretty positive God's will is for the Colts to win)  :) Kidding of course!
