A Special Grace

I just feel like reflecting on these past 7 weeks right now. The first 3 were pretty slow and steady and I would make a mental note of what I accomplished each day. Then, after the Victoria long weekend and the return of my grandma from her three months vacation ( you can read all about it here), days turned into weeks, and weeks into me flying out tomorrow. I can't stress how one's busyness just seems to snatch time away from one's grasp.

From flashmob surprises, to birthday plannings, to gatherings, to a special wedding (CONGRATS Kau & Dau xP), to farewells, to now, I can't believe I'm flying out tomorrow! First flight of the year and I actually didn't want to go due to such precious memories noted in my last blog post. All the while, I've been so occupied to remain silent and submerse into God's presence. This past Sunday's sermon truly reminded me of why its so important to "be still and know that [He is] God" -Psalms 46:10. I have an issue with doing nothing and not filling up my schedule, and I know there is much to be learned in this department of spiritual growth. Its no wonder that God tells us to honor the Sabbath and make our time His, the creator of Heaven and Earth who works outside of our time. Its actually so much harder than we think to "rest" and be at peace with His presence.

These next few weeks will be filled with educational learnings, professional growth, reunions and fresh experiences, but I want to re-re-commit myself to spiritual maturity as well. Re-establishing quality quiet time, seeking God in the little and grand scheme of things, being bold in sharing my faith to new people and places, and letting Him direct where I should be, rather than deciding that for myself.

The more you grow, the more you realize you just don't know, but God's grace has been so good from finishing school until now. He's granted prayers, selfish wants, and forgiven me again and again of my failures and sins. Dang God is good. Where would I be without faith? 

That, ladies and gentlemen, is a very good question. Ponder on that for a more than a mere moment while you remain still and take in His holiness.
