Hold On!

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you a future and hope" 

Well well well, it's hump day. By the end of the day most of us will feel some sort of relief that this week is almost over. Along with that relief will be the feeling of satisfaction that no mater what came against us we made it through. For some of us, myself included, it may not be the middle of the week that's giving us the relief and satisfaction. In those cases it's us getting over the hump in a challenging situation. For example, it's the middle of the semester for both Marissa and I. She has taken her midterms and I'm preparing for my graduate school qualifying exam next week in addition to working full-time AND researching. In addition to that there are the general things that life brings and I must say both of us have equally been through some tough situations these past few weeks. BUT GOD, has shown favor upon us and allowed us to push through and even beyond where we thought we were going.

In all of that the lesson learned is that God knows what He's doing. Maybe your plans fell through it was solely so that His plans (which are always better than yours) could come through. Can we just stop for a moment and praise Him just for that? God always comes through in the clutch when we didn't expect Him because we didn't think we needed Him. Yes, I did say when we THINK we don't need Him because subconsciously we act as if we don't. We must be careful not to get so ahead of ourselves that we get ahead of God's plans for us and the work that He is doing in and through us. So just sit tight and let God work it out. When your hands have been tied it's because God's hands are busy. It's okay rest in assurance that He has your best interest at heart because He loves you.
