"Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know His power
In quietness and trust
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father You are king over the flood
I will be still and know You are God"
We sang this song in church yesterday and it really spoke to me. I spend way to much of my time worrying and freaking out and I just need to find rest in Christ. He is the all powerful all mighty God, who am I to question his authority?
I need to put my trust in him, in him alone and continue to seek him in everything I do. He has great things planned for me and if I spend all my time worrying about everything else, I am going to miss out on the incredible plans and opportunities he has provided me with. With this thought I have been able to remain calm all weekend, I haven't freaked out about anything and I have just been able to enjoy myself and have a great time.
On Saturday Bernice and I went to a women's breakfast at Vineyard church. It was so great, really healthy delicious food, and we got to meet a lot of great Christian women. Afterwords Kelsey, Bernice and I went to the city center and went shopping. I have never done so much shopping in my life, I suppose that is a big part of experiencing the culture. The great thing about shopping is that you get a taste of style and culture and not buy anything. I did however buy one shirt it was really cute and only 3 pounds so I thought that was a great deal. After we went shopping we grabbed some dinner at a pub and then went back to Bernice's house to make rice krispie's and watch Friends. I really enjoy hanging out with those girls they are a lot of fun and are really comfortable with doing anything which is nice, because sometimes its fun to just chill out and not do anything.
Sunday Bernice and I went to church, the sermon was really great, and I just felt filled with God's peace in my life. I am really sad that I can't get more involved with this church. They have some cool events coming up but they are over spring break and I will be out of town.
After church we went to the library to do some homework. I thankfully got everything I needed to get done this weekend and even started my essay that is due on the 17th. After starting the essay I feel so much peace about it, it is really easy and not at all as hard as I thought it would be and I started a week and a half in advance which is a new thing for me.
We started planning our last week of spring break, we are going to Ireland and Scotland which will be a lot of fun. I can't believe that spring break is coming so quickly. It some senses I feel like I just got here and in others I feel as if I have been here for 3 months.
I am so thankful that God has brought me on this journey, I am even more thankful that I am starting to find peace and just enjoy it for what it's worth. I can see God teaching me and using me in so many ways, but I feel there is so much more to it then what I can see. I think that once I leave here and I have time to take in everything that has happened this semester I will truly realize all the things that God has done in my life.
Praise God for Peace!
