Prayers Answered

So this morning when I prayed for more faith, I meant it, but I didn't see how God could work that in me today. Then tonight happened.

At the dorms, we had a meeting about next year's rooming situation. I have decided that it is not a good idea for me to room with my current roommate. Then her and my suitemate made plans to get two rooms together next year.

So I told myself that I would trust God in these plans.

Then I went and made plans with another girl to be her suitemate next year. After the meeting tonight, I'm not sure that is going to work out... So after getting really upset after the meeting and God sending people to help me calm down, I got back to my room and was thinking about it.

God is using this situation to deepen my faith in Him because, in all reality, I have no control over who I am placed with next year. So I can just trust God and pray that He will send me someone that I will be "compatible" with, someone I will be able to lift up, and that will lift me up.

So we shall see.

 I know God would never give me anything that I can't handle, so I will trust Him in this.

(Because His plans is so much better than mine.)

Thanks for reading.

In God, Emily

Living the Life

A couple months ago I was wearing a t-shirt that my mom got me at a Beth Moore conference we attended last year.  If you are not familiar with Beth Moore, her ministry is called Living Proof Ministries.  The t-shirt said, "I'm living proof." I had someone come up to me and ask what it said.  Then she asked what I was living proof of. Her question threw me off guard. What am I living proof of? I stammered out an answer.  Something along the lines of, "I'm living proof of God working in my life." That answer was not necessarily wrong. But as a mature Christian, why did I not have an answered prepared?  I knew what the shirt said.  I should have been ready to answer such a question.   As Christians, we wear certain things, such as our "Christian" t-shirts, or we act certain ways or do certain things, like praying before we eat.  We should be ready to give a reason for any of these things at any moment. The bible tells us to, " p...

Waiting through the Night

I'm going through a bible study with a couple of friends.  This bible study led us to Exodus 14, which is where God leads Moses to part the Red Sea for the Israelites to flee from the Egyptians. I love how the Holy Spirit works and draws out different parts of the scriptures at different times in our lives.  Before I began studying, I prayed that God would show me something, that He would meet me right there in His Word. Exodus 14:15-31 (ESV, emphasis mine) 15 The Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward. 16     Lift up your staff, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, that the people of Israel    may go through the sea on dry ground. 17 And I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that           they shall go in after them, and I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his host, his chariots, and his           horsemen. ...

Stars in the Sky

This post came together from a lesson I taught this past week at our women's night at church.  God really used this to speak to me, and I pray that He does the same for you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have you guys ever noticed that the world rushes through things and rarely gives you the whole picture?  I think this is very evident in our news these days.  They shout out catchy headlines but rarely back them up with complete (and true) stories.  Most of what we see are really just that, stories.  Stories that have been filled with fluff. Listen to what God said to Isaiah in chapter 46:8-13 (ESV):  “Remember this and stand firm,      recall it to mind,   you transgressors, 9       remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other;      I am God, and ther...
