Looking Back

Through Timehop, an app that shows every post on social media you're ever made on that exact day in the past 7 years, I'm currently reliving the most emotional, life-changing time of my life. It's so amazing to see where I was 4 years ago and how much I've grown, changed, and learned mentally, emotionally and spiritually. So many memories, so many mistakes, so many victories. There were times when I lost my way, but God was still faithful and He was always there. If you told me 4 years ago that I would graduate with a degree in Psychology and be going to grad school, I probably wouldn't have believed you; my mind was set on being a pediatrician. I remember crying after a Chemistry test, wondering why the knowledge I thought I had wasn't reflecting on the exam. Though I'm "reliving" this major experience, I can't help but admire God's handiwork. It's amazing to know how God has orchestrated every step to lead me to this very moment. He works everything together for our good.

I know the story isn't over yet, but I've long since decided to let Him write it.

Reflections: June 4, 2014

Romans 4:18-24

• Abraham and Sarah's situation looked bleak. Their circumstance told them that having a child at their age was simply impossible. BUT Abraham hoped against ALL hope that God, the One who moves in impossible situations, the One Who make rivers in the deserts and creates paths where there seems to be dead-ends, would do just as He said. So Abraham believed. Doesn't mean that he was perfect and didn't falter in his belief. All you need is a mustard seed of faith.

Something simply to remind myself that I have a blog...

So, on Thursday, December 13 at 10:01, I completed my first semester of Junior Year. This semester by FAR was my best semester EVER in college. Not just academically, but also spiritually and physically. I had so many opportunities and new experiences. I just thank God for it. I definitely got to really dive into my major, Psychology, and actually discover that I LOVE it. I’m so glad that God revealed to me where I should be. I ABSOLUTELY enjoy it thus far.

But that’s not really what I wanted to write about. One moment, in the final weeks of the semester, really stuck out to me. So, I’m the treasurer for the Gospel Choir at UMBC. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, we found ourselves having our Winter Concert on the same day as another major event on campus. To be honest, I was very pessimistic about our turnout. Thinking not many people would come, I only ordered 200 tickets. Within 4 days, the concert was sold out and MORE people wanted tickets. I couldn’t even believe it. I need more tickets and I was given 100 more. By ACCIDENT. The Director of Student Events went against protocol to give us extra tickets.

Thank God that He is not a conditional being. I don't deserve anything He does for me. Even when I doubt Him, He still comes through right in the nick of time. When you least expect it. There was noooo way that we should have had the turn out that we did, but with God ALL things are possible.

Seems like a lot of the Christian walk is summed up in two words: TRUST GOD.
