Have you ever felt like God's word is WAYYY better than any coffee or monster energy drink ever? That's how I felt today. I went into bible study just thinking, "alright, this is the LAST thing you have to do today, just make it through..." I was soooo drained, emotionally and physically, I just couldn't wait for this day, and this WEEK to be over...and then, I went to bible study. I don't know HOW this slipped my mind, but today we were talking about the phrase, "God is doing our good, for HIS glory." Which, I almost instantly related back to the infamous phrase "God is GOOD, ALL the time!". If you know me REEEEEALLY well, you probably know that this phrase has some significant meaning to me. One of my dear friends, and Graham's girlfriend literally LIVES this motto. When she first said it to me, I'm pretty sure we were in the waiting room, so everything inside me just wanted to scream, "SOME GOOD THIS IS??!!!!" But thank goodness, she explained. God is not a God of THIS world, therefore the GOOD of this world CANNOT be compared to GOD'S good. Similarly, God's timing is not our timing, but God's good and God's timing are PERFECT, because....well, he's God. Anyways, I hear this phrase and BOOM, mind blown. This whole week I've just been like, this timing really sucks, I'm homesick, I'm dealing with friend problems, I'm in the midst of a huge wave of grief, AND I have finals?? Like...really?? But this phrase just brought me back to the truth, God has planned my entire life, including this week, according to his PERFECT timing! How cool is that? Even if it's not what we would consider "perfect timing", it will always be GOD'S perfect timing! Now that's pretty awesome! Anyways, I walked out of bible study so much more at peace, and joyful and just feeling blessed. Granted, I was still tired, but I wasn't miserable and pessimistic anymore. I am so blessed to have God watching over me, and in charge of every LITTLE thing that happens in my life. God will be with me tomorrow, as I try to take these finals, God will be with me this weekend as I rest up and recharge, AND God will be with me next week as I start finals round 2, God will be with me ALL the time!
<3 Always,
Rose
