Crazy Love

Cool story today.

God has been really good to me lately in ways that I realize it. I realize that God is always really good to everyone but I guess I've just been taking notice of some of the ways he has blessed me without me even consciously asking for it.

Lately I've been worrying about the future, what I will be doing after graduation. I think a lot of it stems from the fact that, quite honestly, I've been a little nervous about what life will be like after Randy and I get married. I'm pretty sure the direction I am supposed to take is to get my teaching certificate from Eastern, but is that going to work with us being married. I know I shouldn't worry about these things, but I have been.
Today, Sarah brought me back my Crazy Love book that I let her borrow towards the beginning of the school year. I haven't really missed it. Every once and a while I would remember that she had it and say that I needed to get it back from her but then I would forget again. Well, today she brought it back to me and I started reading the interview with Francis Chan in the back. I did not read this when I read Crazy Love before. It reminded me of two things:

A) God DOES want Randy and me to get married. When I read this book last summer is when God started planting in my head the idea of Randy and I getting back together. I realized that the lifestyle Francis Chan talks about is a lifestyle that Randy strives for. I also realized that I wanted to strive for this lifestyle, too. (Please, if you haven't read this book, read it. Aside from the Bible this book has made the most profound impact on my spiritual life.) Reading just a little bit of this book again reminded me that God wants this relationship to happen.

B) Because this is God's plan, he will take care of us. He will provide what he knows we need and that will ALWAYS be enough. We may not get what we want or even what we think we need, but God will give us what he knows we need. He will equip us to do what he calls us to do and that is wonderful news. If God wants me to go to Eastern after I graduate and he wants us to get married that summer, too, then he will make it happen.

God's timing still blows me away. I hope that never goes away because it just amazes me how awesome he is!

P.S. We have a lot of rabbits here on campus and it makes me really happy to see them frolicking around all over the place. =)
