Artwork pointing me forward
My sister (the married one) created an artwork months ago for me, it sits in my room, with the following words on it.
The temptation at times has been to not trust God, to get frustrated, and to just find things really hard, caught up in what I feel I should have.
A whole chapter of my life (and a chapter of ministry opportunities) is coming to an end. I will soon be done with UNSW, with only a few things left to do. But God has been very gracious to me, not necessarily in what I wanted, but more so in what I needed to grow in and learn. He has everything in control, has given me eternal life though I am a wretched pitiful sinner, and has hopefully lots of service for me to do for him between now and when I finally claim the prize Jesus has won for me.
God has made my paths interesting over the past 12 months, bringing me into relationship with many incredible and godly Christians. He has also been preparing me for various ministry roles, though it is hard to see what exactly they will entail yet. Please pray that I will continue to trust him, and that I will continue to be following him with my priorities till death or his glorious return.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
