Lessons in Trusting God

College. Now there's a word that can frighten the daylights out of me. Why? Because college will determine what I will do for the next few years and set me on a course I may be on for the rest of my life! Yikes! Questions such as "What courses should I take?" "what if I fail?" and "what if I make the wrong choice?" loom ahead like dark clouds bringing a summer storm.
After talking with my parents about all my questions and fears, I realized I had a definite lack of trust in God. On my own strength I am simply terrified about my future. But Jesus isn't terrified. He knows my past, my present and my future, and I don't have to worry, because He knows whats best for me. While praying for trust, Jesus gave me a song from the Donut Man that goes something like this:
"Here comes Peter walking on the water, walking on the water because Jesus said come. He stepped off the boat to see if he'd float and he's walking on the water and it looks like fun! He see big waves all around, he's afraid he's gonna drown. But he's walking on the water, walking on the water, because Jesus said come. He stops to think, cause he's afraid, but Jesus hand lifts him from the waves. But he's walking on the water, walking on the water because Jesus said come!"
Peter had to let go of every logical thing he knew to step on that water, but he did, and Jesus kept him safe. Jesus is faithful no matter what is going on in our lives. He is in control and can calm any storm and give us strength to walk on our stormy seas, even when we think it's impossible.
God Bless!

In Christ,
Sarah
