Be still...

I have a tendency to worry to much about what the future holds. I like to know what I am going to be doing and what path I need to take. Even when I knew that I would be coming to South Africa I couldn't help but wonder what I would be doing after that, and that was months ago. About a week or so ago I struggled with that and as I was walking around the complex I couldn't but wonder what I would be doing after this. Would I go to grad school, get a job, what would I get my master's in all these things running around in my head. As I walked I was reminded of the verse "Be still and know that I am God" Pslam 46:10. The path before me has been laid and God has it under control and He has guided me in the past and will continue to lead me and I just have to be patience and trust in Him. I shouldn't spend so much time worrying about the future that I forget the present. I have been given this amazing oppurtunity to work here and I can't waste it. God has a plan and a purpose for my life and I have to stay focused on him and live a life the is honoring to Him. It is in those quiet moments that God sometimes speaks the loudest to us. This is not to say that I don't still worry about the future but I know and believe that God has me on the correct path and He will guide me through life.
