Over this past weekend I have been really melancholy, and depressed all because of a stupid thing called:
I know that my being in Oz is the first step of many that God has in store for me - but nevertheless, it is so hard being so vulnerable.
I’m still trying to figure this out… because for SOME reason, I still think I know what I want and what I need more than the Creator of the Universe! Which is bull by the way…
Anyways, my being here in Australia is am amazing opportunity but definitely God’s choice to make sure that I rely on him over anything, or anyone else.
In the car on my way to my performance this morning, I knew that there was something missing. That despair that I was feeling all weekend was not from Christ . So, right then, I was led to this lovely verse:
I am still weak, and vulnerable, but I serve an awesome, loving, and capable God who has me in his hands.
Finances
I am currently living half-way across the world from the security and love that family and friends provide. I am so thankful for this experience, and I know that I am here for a reason, but it is so difficult to give all control over to God, and to trust him with everything… everything!I know that my being in Oz is the first step of many that God has in store for me - but nevertheless, it is so hard being so vulnerable.
Let me ask you a question:
Why do we think we can manage our lives better that God?

I want you woven into a tapestry of love,
in touch with everything there is to know of God.
Then you will have minds confident and at rest,
focused on Christ, God’s great mystery.
All the richest treasures of wisdom and knowledge
are embedded in that mystery!
~ Colossians 2:3-5 (The Message)
The entire time that I was worrying about how I was going to make ends meet, or how I was going to get a job etc. God was not a part of it. I was focusing more on me, myself, and I. Pathetic right?in touch with everything there is to know of God.
Then you will have minds confident and at rest,
focused on Christ, God’s great mystery.
All the richest treasures of wisdom and knowledge
are embedded in that mystery!
~ Colossians 2:3-5 (The Message)
No one who hopes in me ever regrets it.
~ Isaiah 49:23b (The Message)
God is good. God is great. God will never, EVER fail us.~ Isaiah 49:23b (The Message)
I am still weak, and vulnerable, but I serve an awesome, loving, and capable God who has me in his hands.
“I am God, your very own God,
who stirs up the sea and whips up the waves,
named God-of-the-Angel-Armies.
I teach you how to talk, word by word, a
nd personally watch over you.”
