And I've finally found...

I've finally found that life goes on without you. At this crossroads, as I find myself losing family and friends and relationships that have meant so much to me, I know that life goes on. I don't see any of his purpose in this, but at the end of the road there is a soverign God who has worked everything out accordingly. It is encouraging to know that people care about me. My teacher, who is the last person I would imagine taking an interest in my life outside of school is asking to be let in as she is learning how much is going on. And she isn't a Christian, so I have an awesome opportunity to share with her the hope that I have in Christ, and share with her directly in words that he is my one desire and that I know he is working and is gracious and full of mercy.
And concerning the rest, someone shared a really awesome quote with me, and they know who they are. "It's better to lose your pride to the one that you love, than to lose the one you love because of pride. We spend to much time looking for the right person to love or finding fault with those we already have love, when instead we should be perfecting the love we give." How true, I care, but I've finally found that life goes on with him and that God can do anything if it is in his will. And I don't want to step outside of His will and desire for my life. Thinking that I know what is best only sets me up for ruin because I can't work against His will. I'm safe from a losing fight when I trust in him.
And it will be something that only I understand, but guess what 'my heart's lost in New Orleans' and i know that is what He desires for me throughout my life.
until later-
