I’m crossing my fingers and prayin that my portfolio submissions go well. This day determines what I will be doing for the rest of my college career and I am so very nervous. I hope to at least get into either graphic design or photography. It’s not in my hands…I’ve done the work to get to this point, but now I think God will decide which path is better for me and my future.

“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.”
-Romans 8:18-19

Nothing in this life compares. Nothing is too big for God to handle. If we live by the Spirit and have the Spirit living in us, we are never alone in our walks. This life has many great opportunities for better lives and for making our time here on Earth enjoyable, but even those things don’t truly matter. They are not worth comparing with the glory that is to come. God is the master of everything. He created us so that we may live for Him, but He also gave us the choice of what paths we choose to take in our lives. I think that is the greatest thing of all. He wants us to want Him, to go after Him passionately. The creation waits in eager expectation to find out which paths we choose to take, which way we decide to shift our minds. We are all sons and daughters of God, and all He wants is for us to come back to Him. I couldn’t even begin to image what eternal life with Him would be like: the great thing beyond Earth. I pray today for passion, longing, zeal, knowledge, and wisdom so that I can increase my faith and live for Him always.

Let live and God Bless,
