I suppose it goes without saying that it's been too long since I've written something. I guess I've just been lacking motivation, and whenever I come across something I want to blog about, I always forget I want to blog about it until it's too late and I've forgotten.
Whatever the case may be, I'll just spill part of my brain on here to fill some space.
In the next couple weeks, I'll be having a meeting with an MCAD counselor, continuing to look for a job, and (God-willing) be getting my company's website up. Lot to do, and I'm pretty excited. The job thing is still weighing really heavy on me, though, so if you all could be praying, I'd really appreciate it. :)
Lately I've been preaching to myself a lot about trusting in God. It's something I do from day-to-day, but it's not perfectly easy sometimes. There's a LOT in my future/near future that's unknown. I know God has a plan for my ultimate good, but I'm sort of the planner/Mr. Fix-It who likes to have everything figured out. Not the most awesome combination. I have to remind myself daily that my view of the world is not like His. They say hindsight is 20-20. I can look back and see ways He's worked that I deeply appriciate now, but they were hard - and I did not appriciate them at the time. God's got a 20-20 view of past, present, and future (and probably other dimentions we have no idea even exist), so it goes without saying that His plan is better than anything I could cook up.
Advice? Remind yourself of that fact daily. It's easy to get caught up in worry (a struggle I have, personally) and doubt, but He will see His work though to completion. There are situations where we can get frustrated or upset ("God, what are you doing??"), but don't let those define your interaction with Him. It's not wrong to have questions for God, but it is wrong to question His judgment. Trust in the Creator who made the world, gave it life, sustains it, and loves it. It sounds like a good idea to me. :)
'Night, all. Leave some comments so I know people actually read this. :P

Way to post, Nate!
Thanks, I think I really needed to be reminded of this. Like you I am a worrier and I am incredibly organised and like to know what's going on, so sitting back and just trusting is hard, but I need to do it. Like you said God sees the past, present and future so I guess that's a bit of weight off my back. Jeremiah 29 vs 11. The verse you based this post around.
God Bless
p.s. real sad I won't get to see you this summer :( BUT it's all in the plan ;)
