summer school

while i was busy studying hard for my summer class on the 2nd floor of the library today, the electricity flickered on and off. before long, we were ushered into a windowless room and told a tornado had been sighted a few miles away. i was nervous, but really at peace trusting God with my safety. ha i honestly thought, hey if i die, at least i don’t have to do anymore school. not the best thought i know. but anyways these verses were brought to mind…

he made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. psalm 107:29

for you have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat. isaiah 25: 4

while there was an actual storm complete with howling wind gusts, deep rolls of thunder, and even swirling funnels, there was a more figurative storm occurring in my life. the 2 summer courses i am taking are hard. much memorization needs to occur and great comprehension take place. and all in a very short summer session. i am aware of my inabilities and weakness more than ever. these verses and the storm reminded me to find a stronghold in the almighty creator who created the bodies i am learning about. he knows even more than what i am trying to learn and he is able to see me through this difficult time of school. where i am weak he is strong.

now to rely on his strength instead of mine and apply myself diligently out of a love for obeying god’s word. back to the books


something i was thinking about earlier this week.
