I know I wasn't really supposed to write about God's attributes, but I have to. God has just been hitting me on this today! In recent events I have been applying for a GA ship at Bob Jones University, which would pay for my grad school education. I have an interview tomorrow for a position, and I found out last night that if I am offered this position, I would not be able to return to camp this coming summer. That thought really hit me hard, and was surprised at that but troubled. Along with that, some old heart aches also came back full force as well. All this at once was like a tidal wave and I was blown away, yet I knew right where to turn. It is ironic, for last night I wrote on prayer, and that's right where I went. I just sat down and talked with the Lord, for I couldn't wait I needed to talk with Him.
One of the biggest things I love bought talkin to my Lord is the peace that He provides. My God is peace, he is the peace that passeth all understanding (Phi. 4:7). He knows ALL things and He loves to listen to His children and give them His peace. When I think of things that could over take me, I think of Matthew 11:30, "For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." I am so thankful for My Comforter, My All in All!!! He sustains me, He is my refuge, He is my strength!!! There is so much, so much more, yet I wish I had the time. God gave me peace today, and showed me to trust in Him, for no one else is trustworthy. I praise Him for how He is helping me and guiding me. No matter what happens He has a purpose and plan and nothing that happens will surprise Him!
Be of Good Courage, God can give you His peace too. Let Him be your comforter and take His yoke and not do it on your own! He knows whats best!
"And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." - Phi. 4:7

Ps. 27:14
Been praying, Mark. Psalm 61 says "when my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the Rock that is higher than I..." You are learning to do that. I really believe this is one of the prime purposes for our struggles. We spend our lives being instructed in our weakness. Learning to embrace it while your young is priceless and saves a lot of heartache. He is the Prince of Peace. Not a peace-maker necessarily...He is peace itself. Keep on going to Him.
