simply believe.

Lately it seems as though I have been more stressed with other things going on in my life other than school which doesn't seem right considering next week is finals week. I made the decision to move into a three bedroom with my cousins Jackie and Cola because not only will it be more fun than living by myself, but I will also save a ton of money. However, my lease for my current apartment is not up until the end of July and we are supposed to move into our new place mid-May. So I have been frantically trying to find someone to take over my lease but haven't had much luck. I'm also in the process of summer job hunting which I completely loathe. So I've been saying a lot of prayers lately in the hope that God will lead me in the right direction for a job and that He will lead someone to my apartment. I know He has a plan, I just have to wait and see what it is.

Last night before I went to bed I opened my devotional, which I haven't done in a while, and I was amazed at how God spoke right to me. Here is what I opened to:
Simply Believe 
I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Psalm 27:13

Every fall as the cold winds of winter approach, flocks of birds fly southward to warm climes and mild breezes. With no map to guide them, they fly confidently, accepting instinctively that their winter refuges wait at the end of their journey.

There are times in your life when you must fly south symbolically, away from the winter winds of despair and hopelessness. As you take flight, God will provide a refuge for your troubled soul in his goodness, mercy, kindness, and compassion. He asks you to believe that he will provide gentle breezes for your journey. He asks you to believe that his never-failing love will go with you wherever your journey takes you. Simply believe, he tells you as you lean into the wind and surrender yourself to healing and hope.

Our fathers trusted in You; They trusted, and You delivered them. They cried to You, and you were delivered; They trusted in You, and you were not ashamed.  Psalm 22:4-5

God, my future is in your hands. Amen. 

Amen to that! Who wouldn't want to live here?!
