hmmm...
It's funny how life comes at you...you never really realize how fast time goes by until its gone, at least I never do...
It seems like the semester just began. God has been so gracious to bring me through the many trials that have come my way since the beginning. Now I'm facing finals and I'm realizing that I'm just gonna have to trust Him to do it again. Honestly, a lot of times I feel like I can do it on my own and then I fall backwards and realize that I'm borrowing God's air and I can't live without Him sustaining me. So, I've basically come to grips with the fact that if I pass finals it will be all because of Him.
As I was thinking about that, I realized that the reason that I'm this far along in school is to glorify Him. Sometimes, when I examine my own heart, I realize that many times I take the glory for myself. I find my mind drifting so far as to start believing that I got myself to where I am now, when in fact, it's all because of Christ. I want the reason that I live to be all for Christ and not for me. I want the glory to go to Him. I want people to look at where I am in school and in the long run, my life, and be able to not say, "Wow, look what she did!", but instead to say, "Wow! Look what Christ has done in her. Isn't He awesome!".
So now the time has come to trust Him again, because He is faithful to never leave us or forsake us. Because just like the verse says, "When I am weak, then HE is strong". May it be that way in me. Anyways, I thought I would let you all know about my life currently, and now I must get back to studying.

AMEN - It's all because of Christ! That is so comforting and so easily we forget and look at it as our own success. Amy, thanks for the reminder! Praying for the finals!
Thanks for your honesty, Amy. Those temptations to lean on our own strength and glory in our own successes are common to all of us.
But hey - look at the bright side - the semester IS almost over, which means that the HOLIDAYS are almost here!!!
Have fun studying!
Yes, Heather, you have, silly kid!

"Wow! Look what Christ has done in her. Isn't He awesome!"
