Trust in the Lord

"Trust in Jehovah with all your heart, And do not rely on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him; And He will make your paths straight." (Proverbs 3:5-6)

I'm not into quoting Proverbs. I'm not sure what my concept is concerning this book... perhaps that it's a bit cliché, that everyone quotes Proverbs because it's a simple book and easy to understand, that I want to avoid it and appear to be a much "deeper" Christian... At any rate, this is the verse that came to me tonight, and I felt it was well needed in my present state and current pursuit of the Lord.

I want to learn to trust in the Lord—yes, with all my heart, but at least for now only some specific parts, or part, of it. If I could just manage to let go of a certain matter, my life would be so much easier, my mind much less an abyss. And I do believe He will make my paths straight—He always has, faithfully. But there's always been that annoying tendency to want to make my own path straight. Gain this, Lord! Gain ME!

Apart from that, it's the end of my first week of school! I do miss the classes, and although I'm not looking forward to the work that lies ahead, I'm feeling pretty confident about things. I'm finally in my last semester, and I'm lovin' it!

But I'm really not back into the rhythm of being a student. I've been at the beach all month up until this week. I can't wait to again tomorrow, though I'll have to bring my books to study at the same time. Waters are cold but the sun is hot! And I'm not gonna miss out on it!
