Soul Refresher, ahh :)

New day = fresh outlook on things...


Okay, so yesterday might have been slightly dramatic in my entry, but at the same time just realizing what needs to be dealt with/ fixed. God works in amazing ways, that is for sure :)
So 2 nights ago I was at the Duncan's house made up of a lutheran pastor, wife who runs the ULC, and 2 amazing young ladies my age that I go to school with. I was over there talking with Melissa about the ULC and she invited me to go with her to a campus ministry meeting today at 7am. So as most of you know 7am isn't exactly a functioning time for me, but I really felt compelled to go. So we drove to Emporia at 7am and had a 3.5 hour meeting over various topics, issues, etc. But they talked about other college ministries that really caught my attention. There is a college in Lawrence KS for Native Americans and LCMS has a ministry there. But some of these young adults are dropped off there with just the clothes on their back! Who am I to complain about finances? In short it really put my situation in perspective.


Today I feel so much better, simply because 1) my situation was put in perspective, 2) I got to talk to Melissa about all sorts of things about my faith for about 3 hours worth of driving, 3)God is good all the time.


How true it is that God knows our needs and will provide for us. I shouldn't be freaking out about all of these things. Tomorrow has enough worries of it's own, so just focus on today and live my life in His example. Something else that was shown to me was how refreshing it was to be around this family for a day. It reminded me so much of home and of my former church family. Just to be in a loving Christian environment did wonders for my soul. God even fills the needs that I didn't even realize. He's pretty spiffy I'd say .


So all in all today was an eye opener/ refresher for my spirit about what life is about. I know that I need to use God as my first resort for when I'm worried, not 2nd, 3rd and most definitely not last. He will give me what I need when He sees fit, and I just need to trust in Him. Ahh....I feel like a huge burden has been lifted from my shoulders. Thanks God!
