These last couple of days I've been really stressing over the fact that I don't know what the next year of my life will bring. Will I get a job teaching? Where should I live? Who will I marry? I expressed these frustrations to my mentor here, and she told me to stick my hand in front of my face. It seemed a bit odd, but I respect her, so I listened. She told me that the distance from my eyes to my hand was all I knew. God has given us today and that's all we need to worry about. I believe that God speaks and He directs my life, so why am I worried? God will reveal to us what He wants us to do next, we just need to focus on today and make sure we are living today as we should.One of my good friends lost her Grandpa this past week. Her blog about his life and death really spoke to me. I want to look back on my life and be able to say that "I fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith" (2 Timothy 4:7). I want to help people, to reach out and show them the love of Jesus. I can do that no matter where I live and no matter what job I have.
I'm going to trust that God has a plan for my life and let tomorrow worry about itself.
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 7:34
"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future'" Jeremiah 29:11
Is your hand still in front of your face?
