You know what gives me comfort?

That Jesus walked this earth. This very one we are living in right now.

& He was human during that time. Just like we are.

"Think of yourselves the way Christ Jesus thought of himself. He had equal status with God but didn't think so much of himself that he had to cling to the advantages of that status no matter what. Not at all. When the time came, he set aside the privileges of deity and took on the status of a slave, became human! Having become human, he stayed human. It was an incredibly humbling process. He didn't claim special privileges. Instead, he lived a selfless, obedient life and then died a selfless, obedient death—and the worst kind of death at that—a crucifixion." Philippians 2:5-8 (The Message)

Isn't that amazing? ♥

What does the future hold?

Because I'm a huge procrastinator, I am taking precious time that could be used for studying to make this blog entry. I know, I'm so productive, right?

It's just that I've had about a million things on my mind lately and I need to write them down (well, type them.)

On Friday I'm registering for my senior year of college. MY. SENIOR. YEAR. OF. COLLEGE. How scary is that? It feels like yesterday I was just starting my freshman year. And MY how I've grown! Especially in my relationship with God. I feel like each year has brought me closer to Him. But I am still nowhere near perfecting my faith (and I never will perfect it). Patience and trust are probably my two greatest weaknesses in my Christian walk. I'm so eager to have my life in order (husband, family, job, etc.), and I am always in doubt that God won't provide me with what my heart yearns for daily. I just have to be patient and trust Him.

Yet, I am scared to death for my real life to start. A real job? My own home? The future frightens me. Sometimes I feel so confident about my abilities, but other days I feel that I will fail. Will I be able to pass the CPA exam? Will I be able to succeed in the world of accounting? Will I even get a good job? So many unknowns.

I honestly don't have a clue what the future holds for me, but I know that I have God. I know my Savior. I know that I am saved. This is what gives me comfort.

"For this God is our God for ever and ever; He will be our guide even to the end." Psalm 48:14
