I am confused.
Surprised? I think not. Here are a few reasons
why:
•Finals begin this week- a big enough stress factor in itself,
considering I haven't yet commenced studying for everything yet.
•Work has
become surprisingly unfulfilling and disappointing. Not that I am necessarily
sad about this- but more elaboration on this topic at a later
date.
•Volunteering- both at the Community Center and in the four year old
Sunday school class- has been rewarding, if not without some sacrifice. It has
been an encouragement to see how much of a blessing I receive when I have the
attitude desiring to be a blessing to others.
•I am coming to the
realization of how important friendships are in my life; as well as how much
this area has been forgotten and ignored during this last year.
"What is
there to be confused about?" you may ask. Let me tell you a little secret:
combining any of the two above topics results in some level of stress and
confusion for this poor college student. Working full time, taking a full-time
load of college classes, taking time out to volunteer, and keeping a few hours
open to dedicate to growing friendships closer to Christ has resulted in a
roller-coaster ride of emotions this last week.
But God is on His
throne, His perfect plan is being put in place, and His Word serves as a comfort
to my heart. I over think too much, worry too often, and fear the foolish things
too regularly. But my life is a work in progress, being carefully crafted by my
Creator, being molded into His image and likeness.
I am so utterly
grateful that I am not left to struggle through this life on my own, hopeless,
depressed, and lost. This spurs me both take comfort in the refuge of my Savior
and to be challenged to share this love and peace with unbelievers.
Christmas is such an amazing time for the celebration and exultation of the
coming of our Light of the world. Christmas is such a perfect opportunity to
share such celebrations of hope and peace with those who have yet to come to the
knowledge of His majesty.
Hallelujah. King Jesus reigns.
