God you are sovereign, You are unchanging, You are the only one who loves me for who i am and knows everything about me. You know and understand my longings and You provide for them as You know is best for me.

well one more week before finals. most of my work is done...three large papers due this week and they are close to being finished. i am anxious for a week off and i'm ready for new classes. these past two weeks have been trying on my emotions....i have wanted so badly to run away, but God kept me from doing so. last week i withdrew my staff application for calvin crest. i didn't want to, but God made it quite clear to me that i was supposed to and that He has called me to stay in SLO for the summer. i don't know exactly what i'm going to do here this summer, but i have some options that i'm considering and placing at the foot of the cross praying for guidance and direction. i know with confidence that God is keeping me here for a reason and will hold my hand through this carrying me when i am too weak to walk. it's both exciting and frightening at the same time. i will not be in my comfort place, but i will be in His hands....that is more than enough for me. find joy in Him....blessings on your week!

Katie, I know it must have been hard to pull your application. I remember first summer I did not apply. I knew it was God's will for me to do something else, but it seemed weird and strange. God provided for me in so many ways those summers I was up on the mountain, but God taught me so much more when I was struggling down in the valley. The last summer I applied I was rejected. It was the summer before seminary. I was kind of torn up about it at the time, but God offered me a lot of healing that summer. It was one of the best preparations I could have gotten before seminary and I thought that working at Calvin Crest was going to be. Guess not. God had other plans, just like I know God has other awesome and amazing plans for you in SLO. Maybe even finding a home.
