It seems now so clear that the Lord is leading me to this path, even though the way ahead is by no means easy. To think that i had almost not applied for this program, and that it was kind of a "last minute" decision, as i was weighing out the pros and cons. Finally decided to apply only after a conversation with my parents.
It's really one of those times when my heart is bursting with thankfulness and wonder at the way the Lord is working in my own life.
Meanwhile, my heart is also full with many prayer requests from those around, especially in my small group. Since i've been in SF, i've really been diligently journaling some of these prayer requests and answers, and it is good to look back and see how the Lord is working. I don't think the phrase "the Lord works in mysterious ways" is actually in the Bible, but it sure seems that way.
SCC's title track from his latest album kinda sums it up. Here's the chorus:
This is going to be a glorious unfolding
Just you wait and see and you will be amazed
You’ve just got to believe the story is so far from over
So hold on to every promise God has made to us
And watch this glorious unfolding
Just you wait and see and you will be amazed
You’ve just got to believe the story is so far from over
So hold on to every promise God has made to us
And watch this glorious unfolding
No matter what trials come our way, this is not the end of the story. Let's press on together, friends.
