This season in my life has been very unusual. My heart has been felt like a race horse on the go. And my emotions have felt like a whip beating my heart around and around. However, in the past couple of weeks I have realized there are some life lessons to be accepted.
Lesson #1
You are not in Control
This one seems like it should be a no brainier but in many ways it's harder then it seems. However, in this season I have felt like my heart is in two places. It's been sad/ frustrated because I've had to invest more time in my Internship and my Work Study. And it's been hard because even though I don't consider myself academic I miss crossing back / forth in see my class mates. I don't get to interact as much as I would like. It's also my last semester. So, I've had to accept what I'm able to do. Therefore, I've come to realize I need to stop trying to structure life and let God do His job.
Lesson # 2
" Don't let your feelings take over, you'll end up getting hurt. Let God take over, you'll be protected"
I 'm not even sure how to even justify this lesson any clearer. This lesson says enough in one clear sentence. It's also something a friend of mine on campus shared with me. I 've come to realize how much feelings can be good but also damage you. Especially because I am one to live out of my heart more then my mind. This one really hits home with just the fact of trying to decided what I need to do in life but even more in general. And it's important to identify because feelings can keep us from being obedient to God. I share this one because so often instead of obeying God at times I fall under this one because of my fear but I need to realize I am protected.
Lesson #3
The Father's Word is the Final Seal
The Father's Word is the Final Seal. Ha! That one says soo much because when you think about life there are billions of voices trying to tell you how to do your life. And if your like me you can trip up over words because maybe your child like personality of approval comes out. However, we have to remember God has only given us one body and we need to take care of it. Therefore, in making this personal this has been the wrap up of over all that I have to slow down. This means it's ok to simply sit down and eat a pop tart. I know that sounds funny but it's so easy to get on the go thinking this is how I need to spend my time with the Lord , scripture, scripture scripture. And not that it's bad but He's not expecting us to be super mega Christians, He just wants us.
So, my heart is that as I reflect and share God would use this to share with those who are need of encouragement but also sometimes it's good to know that we're not the only human struggling. Therefore , may this be what it is ! Much Love
