Hesitant.

I've always thought blogs were kind of odd, just because it's a person writing about themselves basically, but I enjoyed reading others' blogs especially people I don't see or talk to often (ok it's Zoe). Anyway, I recently deleted facebook for a few reasons 1. I'm on there way too much and often find myself questioning why I'm even on. 2. Since I am moving to Akron I realize I will need to be very intentional keeping up friendships with people in Athens and I think facebook would cheapen this. So I deleted it in an attempt to become more intentional in contacting people. - 2 days in and it is working great.

So the reason for this blog- which I'm not sure if I'll tell anyone about just yet- is for me to share what I'm experiencing through this move because as much as I will try to be intentional things come up, I will be busy, friends will be busy, so I'm hoping through this I can have a way to share with people.

So a basic summary of what I have been learning is that God's plan for my life is so much bigger than I can comprehend. I am doing this course through Blue Letter Bible Institute and today's lesson was on the Sovereignty of God and I realized how selfish and small minded I can be. I am so concerned with my life that I often miss how God is working for His glory and this exceeds me. He is at work through all people in such an intricate way that I'm not going to even begin to try to understand. Yet I question His plan for my life all the time. Now, patience is not one of my strong suits. This quarter was a testament to that as I waited anxiously for 2 months to hear about graduate school. Through this though I have gained a little perspective - God is going to continue to teach me and mold me for His glory - and will reveal His plan for me when He intends for it to be revealed. This was initially hard to swallow, but I am becoming more excited by the simple command to seek Him and know Him and through that His will shall be revealed. (Jeremiah 29:11-13).
