Obedience

The Lord is really working on me right now. It is truly amazing! Everyday I am learning something new. I am finishing up a class that has taught me so much and has really helped me dig deeper into His Word.

I am growing not only in my relationship with Jesus, but with other amazing Christians who are such blessings to me. I am so thankful for the friendships that have developed and become so strong in my life over the last few months. These friends have been such an encouragement to me. They are holding me accountable, they are challenging me, they laugh with me, and they cry with me, they are amazing!!

I have no idea what the future holds. I know that at this moment, God is telling me to trust him and to rest in him. He has given me amazing peace about where I am at today and about my future. I am pressing on in anticipation of a great future that God is planning and in control of. I am trusting him, leaning on him for my strength and comfort in my weakness, and turning to him for wisdom and guidance.

I must be obedient. I must be faithful. I must trust him with all of my heart.
Application and obedience is always the hardest part. But I know that he is guiding my steps. I am so thankful for where I have been and am so excited for where I am headed!

A few quotes that really hit me this week:

"Obedience is the mother of true knowledge of God." (John Calvin)

“It is not the Word hidden in the head but in the heart that keeps us from sin.” ~Vance Havner
