Faithfulness

Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."

In the three years since I started college, I've gotten into this habit of getting very reflective over my breaks. But for some reason, this break has been kind of mindless. By that I mean that I haven't been putting in hours of thinking about where I've been over the past semester and what the next one has in store. In the almost two weeks I've been at home, my days have mostly consisted of me doing my daily training, which is either a run, bike or swim, and then the afternoons are usually my time to knit and/or read/watch "The Office." But in the moments when I have stopped and thought about the past year and the rest of this one, I keep coming back to the same thing. Faithfulness. The Lord has been so incredibly faithful and has blessed me with the chance to study something I love and has helped me get through my classes and even do well in them! Now as I get ready to go back to start summer school, and then my last semester as an undergrad, I'm starting to research graduate programs and even in that, I have found some places that are researching the things that interest me the most! I can't believe how amazing God is and I am constantly reminded of just how faithful He is to keep His promises to us and walk beside us in every circumstance. It is such a blessing to sit back and feel so incredibly loved and at peace with where I am and what the Lord has in store for me in the coming months and years. Believe it or not, I am looking forward to being in school this summer, because I can see where it will take me and what it will enable me to do in the future. God is so good and His word truly does not return void! So of all that has happened in the past three years, the word faithfulness seems the best description.
