the way God works.

For the past couple of months, or maybe years (lol), especially being in school, it's been really hard for me to not feel a bit..."trapped". I remember the days when I was so ambitious and excited about life...so ready to conquer the world, so focused and so determined..and it's not that much has changed, except that I have been feeling as if I have been "stuck" in the same environment, place, system (educational) for years now. I am a future-thinker. I love to plan, dream of doing different things in life simultaneously, direct my own life...but because of studies, studies and more studies, I have been so limited in what I could/can do...and that sometimes can make me feel so frustrated and extremely miserable!! (ahhh, because being "trapped" leaves little room to "move around" and "experience freedom").

As such, when I notice that others can have that opportunity to do different things (have a career already, for example), it makes me grow impatient. Yet, lately, I have been realizing that while there is greatness in focusing on the future, it's so easy to miss the blessings and enjoy the present. It is no wonder that I start feeling unsatisfied with the place I am in life, and wishing that I was "done already" so I can "do something with my life", wishing that I was this and that and feeling so useless....WHOMP WHOMP.

Thus, this evening as I am spending time with God, and reading a testimony online, I am led to 1 Corinthians 1:26-31. The verses read: Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”

God led. I needed to hear those words.

We are not perfect. We will never be. Our present is there (in whatever shape or form) to humble us and to remind us that this life is NOT our own! In this case, God chose my present to nullify the things that are, so that I can't boast before Him. What powerful verses. I need to memorize ASAP.
