They say that you learn things through experience. This week, I definitely learned a lot about what it meant to put my trust in God in all things.
Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”
-James 4:14-15
I don't like to identify myself as someone who always wants things in control, but as I organized Drexel's spring break trip to Ocean City, I realized that I was someone who wanted to be able to control everything I was involved in. Even up until then, I had experienced God's sovereign plan in my life, but in the moments where everything was falling apart, I still tried to control everything I could. So many things happened on the trip that were unexpected, but ended up being used for good (I think).
I pray that in all things, I can praise God for who He is, because who He is doesn't change regardless of what circumstances I am faced with. I want to humbly serve Him and learn to understand better how he works his plan through all things.
