Waiting For God's Perfect Peace
I have been really stoked about graduating early my junior year. I thought okay ya I'll pray about it, but what that really meant in my mind was "pray that my mom says 'Yes' to allowing me to graduate early." My mom didn't feel totally comfortable with me graduating early. But it was still all up to me she said. So I scheduled a meeting today with my cohort to discuss graduating early because I also wanted to feel peace about it. To be honest I was unsure with the whole situation. I just know I wanted to graduate early, but if i was going to do that I would have to graduate with the minimum requirements which would close doors to any universities if God opened doors for me to go, and if i changed my mind about bible college and wanted to go to a private university. I made the decision to just stay in school, because it felt like thats what God was calling me to do, and after I had made that choice, I felt so at ease, this perfect peace that felt so comforting, thats when I knew that I had made the choice that God wanted me to make!
It can be so hard sometimes to do what you know God wants for you, and throw away your own plans. See I could plan anything I want, but God is the one who directs me. He is so good! It can be hard to trust Him, because you feel like your letting go of all your control, thats when we panic, but God wants to exchange that for His perfect peace He wants to it give to us so that we can feel at ease, and just relax and rely on Him, allowing Him to be in COMPLETE control.
"Be at rest once more, O my soul,
for the LORD has been good to you."
Psalm 116:7
