Journey

My faith journey. It's been all over the place for the past year. First semester sophomore year, I tried to trust the Lord in everything. I prayed all the time. Prayed with my friends in the library when we should have been studying. Prayed in the morning, prayed at night. I was blessed with a very, very happy semester. Second semester came bringing changes and distractions, and to this day I am shocked and ashamed that I put God on the back burner so quickly and easily.

After being at my lowest, I entered the summer with the conviction to renew my personal relationship with God. It's been great.

Last night, I was reading my Bible, and in the context of France and several previous discussions with friends who feel overwhelmed by different things in life, I stumble upon this verse:

"No testing has overtaken you that is not common to everyone. God is faithful, and He will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing He will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it." - 1 Corinthians 10: 13

I don't think it will ever cease to fascinate me how reassurances like that pop up when I need them. SO COOL.
