Storm

Just stupid busy the last couple days. But something that my mentor Gary told me the last time I met with him came to the surface of my memories. That memory was that even in the midst of the craziness of life you have to be obedient to the Lord. I felt like life was moving way too fast the last couple days and then I sat down and started reading and just prayed about my worries and anxiety. I had a huge first exam in one of my classes and a lot of people asked why I was so calm? I can't really give them an answer other than I was just trusting in God that what I knew was enough and that I was going to depend on Him for the strength and wisdom I needed to pass this thing.

I felt so good when I finished my test. A lot better than I thought. If we cast our worry on God and really think about what matters I think He will help put in perspective what really matters. Right before the test I thought... How much does this grade on this exam really mean to me? Sure it looks great but when it comes down to it, I really have a lot of other real cares and thoughts that matter for eternity rather than temporary.

Life is like a storm sometimes. You can see the Chaos. And just in case you were wondering chaos refers to a state lacking order or predictability. Kind of funny how a lot of us might describe this as life. But within the chaos and craziness there is a beauty in it all. There is a sense of control. A control that only comes from the God above. No one can control a storm... no one can control life... only God has a handle in this all.
