rampant.

My mind is running rampant tonight: I just finished the toughest week of my semester only to run face-first into a tougher one. We leave on Thursday for NYC to work with Urban Impact for a week. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow for my foot. I graduate in less than two months and head straight to Houston for the next three months of my life. And I have a heavy heart.

Overwhelming thought today: At some point, I'm going to fail my friends. My friends are going to fail me. Leaders are going to fail me. Mentors. Teachers. Family. Co-workers. They're all going to fail me and I'm going to fail them. It's a sad fact of life... we're all fallen sinners. Many (or most) of the time I'm a second-thought or after-thought to friends. BUT not to God. He will NEVER fail me. His story is that of REDEMPTION. How could I not be encouraged by that?!

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or frightened because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you."

[Deuteronomy 31:6]

Strong words from Moses to Joshua... and me. So this week, I'll be encouraged because my God is mighty. He's big. He's a healer. He's a provider. And He loves me. I pray you'll be encouraged as well.
