I am in the home stretch of my first semester at GCTS and to say the least I have a lot on my plate. I just wanted to update you all and ask for your prayers.
My roommate asked to me the other day, "How do you eat an elephant?" I didn't know the answer. "One bite at a time," he responded. This is how I feel right now. I have a giant elephant that must eat and I am feeling slightly overwhelmed by the task at hand. This is escalated by some family issues at home, specifically in regards to computers.
The other sunday, we sang "Your Beloved" and I felt quite moved by the one line "Unashamed to call me Your own." It's crazy that God would be unashamed to associate with us, at least with me. I'm inconsistent, prideful, and a whole lot of other things that aren't so great. Yet, God is proud to call us His.
This means so much to me right now in this moment because as I am trying to devour this figurative jumbo, I am feeling my self-worth slip. But I'm trying to cling to God and find peace in Him.
So please pray:
- that I will remember God loves me whether I get an A or an F in my classes
- that I will handle my family situations with grace and love
- that I will focus on finishing the tasks at hand and that I will do that by God's power and not my own
Thanks,
