In thinking about a topic to write tonight, I looked back over my blog posts. While I was doing this, I came across a line in one that, well, I didn't exactly know what to think about.
Last December, I wrote a post titled "What Remains Constant." In it, I wrote, "I hope that when I hit next summer, I'll be able to look back at this year and
say, 'You know what? I made it!'"
I thought about that this summer. This year was a difficult one in some ways. I never expected to leave my original college. I didn't know I'd get certain pieces of bad news that would test my trust in God.
But as I look back over the year, I can see that God has been good. And is good.
This year God took away my plan for college and gave me a better one.
He allowed changes at my camp and I believe they worked to glorify Him and help change my heart.
Through a class, He showed me how to get more out of His Word ... more work but huge benefits!
Looking back at this year, my desire isn't to say "I made it." I don't feel as if I've victoriously conquered a hard road. I feel as if I've been stretched. Refined. And I'm thankful for it. I'm thankful to God for doing it.
As I take another look back, I choose to say, "God is good."
