Finding God’s Peace

As with any big life changes, I am sure, we each go through our own set of ups and downs. Though you think to prepare your mind and spirit for the alterations you are about to face as you head out, I don’t think one can even be certain how they will go with or react to their new lives.

This first 1/2 year has brought with it many opportunites and challenges. These challenges have presented themselves professionally, spiritually, maritally, personally, and I could go on. I have learned a great many things about myself – some of which I have thanked God for and some of which I haven’t liked much at all. I need to say that Daniel has been so solid for me here and I believe we have been relying on each other in so many new ways. Man do I feel he’s holding me up more often though!

Having my morning walks to school has been key for quiet time and prayer for me. God does keep his promises and lifts my eyes at those times when I need it most. He is my true rock. A chorus that Daniel and I heard at a worship service we attended here a number of months ago has stuck with me. It is the cry of my heart:

So no matter what the cost
I will go for you
No matter what it takes
I’m yours
Because you paid the price on Calvary
I give you my whole life
I’m yours

There is great peace in knowing that God has a plan for our lives and I am where he wants me. I don’t know how long we will be here or where the next steps may take us. When my brain gets carried away with the future I try to remember that decisions will be made when the time is right and not sooner or later.
