Weathering the storm

Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!” He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.

The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”

There were many storms brewing today. They are painful, scary, and unpredictable but Jesus always wakes up in time.

I want to know that in my heart.

“Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord” – Ps 27:14

I’m actually not ready..

I have 9 hours before my new life begins.

I am incredibly freaked out and absolutely not ready.

But here I go..

Pray for me

Back to Bethel

In just a few short days I’ll be moving in to my new home in Getsch Hall. I can safely say that the Lindsay that left Bethel 83 days ago is certainly not the same Lindsay that will move in on Monday. I’ll be honest, this summer didn’t play out as I expected it to. I am really disappointed in myself in a lot of ways. However, I am very grateful for the experiences I have had. Without them I wouldn’t be where I am right now. I have to remeber what Paul said in Philippians about this:

Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” (3:12-14)

I am confident of this: God is building a new foundation for me. Brick by brick, layer by layer, He’s setting my feet on solid ground. Without Him, I don’t know if I will survive this year. I have to look forward and press on. I have not yet taken a hold of it. But I will continue to forge my way forward..

God has so much work to do in me and it is my prayer that He might do something through me this year too.

I’m ready.

As I’ve been saying all week “I’m a new woman”

The new specs help :)
