Hello. (I thought that was a good way to start.) My name is Lindsey and I am one of the interns at the Wesley Foundation at Texas A&M. Some things you need to know about me, I am slightly obsessed with owls, sharks fascinate me, I am trying to make fetch happen (Mean Girls quote), I love to read young adult dystopian novels, and oh and yes Jesus is my homeboy.
When I was trying to figure out what to talk about in this blog, I was writing for some seminary application stuff and stumbled upon an essay I had to write about God’s work in my life.
As humans we have a natural instinct to want to control our environment. But what if, a BIG WHAT IF, we went beyond our own understanding and trusted God to guide us? WHAT?!?!?! Is your mind blown or what?! How much more could we achieve if we just trust in God? For me, I take matters into my own hands the questions come spiraling down around me. I'm afraid to change for fear of stepping away from the path God has laid before me. So I am paralyzed, unable to move. And we know this is certainly not from God.
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. (2 Timothy 1:7)
We need to remember that it is God that is at work in us. God's direction must be sought to answer these questions. God has a way of raising our level of potential, until we’re shocked by our own accomplishments. It's up to us to follow His lead.
