A Much Needed Break

I'm still working on Waking the Dead Part 3, but I figured I would blog a bit and write about what's been going on recently in my life.  God just keeps speaking to me in volumes and I figured I would share because I like to talk about what God's doing.  I don't want to keep this inside of me.

I've been busy and feeling a bit overwhelmed recently.  Between classes, Thrive, and cheering on the Razorbacks I haven't had much downtime to just relax.  I finally got a chance these past couple days because of Fall Break and I've been praying about some stuff.  I remember Jordan explaining this analogy for how he felt sometimes and it really stuck with me because I feel the same way.  I feel like this little boat that's being tossed out in a storm with a huge tidal wave about to smash me to bits.  God has just been telling me that I need to rely on Him more.  After coming to this conclusion, it helped explain a lot more.

I've been starting to really think about my career and the long-run of things which is another reason why I had been stressed out.  I usually freak out about things whenever I plan for more than a day or two haha.  Some of my friends are starting to look into internships and it's really hard for me not to want to do something career-related this summer.  It would look really good if I started doing internships after my sophomore year and I would get the experience I need.  God is telling me that I need to work at Fuge this summer though.  I don't know why but I know that's where He wants me.  I just have to trust Him for these decisions.

I got to go to the 7 Tour with some buddies of mine in Tulsa and I experienced some intense worship there.  It was an awesome concert, but I could definitely feel God's presence there and it was just so easy to hear Him speak.  It was comforting to hear Him say that He's in control, no matter what doubts I may have.  I don't have to doubt any longer, I just have to trust.  I also watched Furious Love and it was an incredible movie.  You may have never considered spiritual warfare, but it is real and intense.  There is a war being waged for our hearts and the power of God's love can stand against all.  It can heal, it can change others, and it is POWERFUL.  I guess I never realized how much I underestimated God's love until I watched this movie.

That's what has been going through my mind recently anyways.  Please let me know if there's any way I can pray for you and I hope that you realize God's in control.  Trust in Him and He will take care of you.

In Love,

Bill
