So Tina preached about wrestling with God today. And I realized that I do this a lot. As I was sharing about my university dilemmas, I said that I didn't know what God wants for me and whether I'm basing my decisions on my own desires. So in short, I do think that God wants me to go to Waterloo, since He's given me much guidance through Andrew (I know you're reading this, so *hi5! :]). And so I guess what I've been doing now is trying to take control of my life. I want an "escape" through my friends, I suppose. I want them to approve of my decisions. And since many of them are saying "Oh.. Waterloo? Why?", I feel uneasy about my decision. Remember what we learned from fellowship on Friday, why are we turning to earthly things when we can turn to God? And God's been pretty clear to me, I think.
I guess what I wanna say is that even if my peers don't exactly agree with me, it doesn't matter. As stated in Isaish 55:8-9 ""For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts." I remember singing a song with these lyrics many TCs ago. I can't find it now, but it's stuck by me a lot.
So, I guess I'm going to UW :)

ReplyDeletealright, see you in loo, maybe...
Hi Amy,
ReplyDeleteWould you like me to involve in your big decision? :)
Don't worry, I'm not going to make the decision for you, but I can coach you more to process. It's interesting how you take Andrew as the "sign" but not your peers! ;-)
I know it is a big decision for you and I really hope you can come to have peace with God.
Let me know when you're available. I'll come and meet you.
Blessings,
Tina
