Twenty-One

"O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good: for His mercies endureth forever."

Ps. 107:1

Life seems to become more complicated and more simple at the same time.  Decisions, waiting, uncertainty, people, expectations--stuff that just won't go away.  Yep, complicated.

A year ago I was in Kansas on the senior class trip, considering the future.  I thought I knew what the next 12 months would hold.  I was wrong.  This year, I honestly don't know what will happen.  I'm waiting for God to answer and a mission board to get back to me. 

Things are more simple, too.  God is in control, of this much I am certain.  I don't need to know my whole future (sounds nice sometimes, though...:) because I know the One who orchestrates my path. He orders my steps. He is my rock and my refuge. 

I don't know what I'll be doing this time next year, but I do know this: God is good and He is in control.

"Oh that men would praise the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men."

Ps. 107:8

It's so good to hear from you. Happy Birthday!
Just keep drawing closer and closer to the Lord and He will direct your paths. He will " open doors no man can shut, and shut doors no man can open."

Happy Birthday, Alex dear! I'll dispense with the comments of "so old" since I'll be the same age in a few more months.

Happy Birthday Alex! I hear life only becomes more complicated as you get older; praise the Lord that we have Him to provide direction.
