Pressing On...

The last month and a half has possibly been the longest of my life. Honestly, I've hated much of it. Life hasn't been easy. I found out two people who I love dearly were leaving for Africa, and then school spiraled out of control. I was drowning in drama. Not to mention that my Source of strength has been silently testing me for the duration of this period, to the point where I've wondered where the heck He is. Frustrated? You have no idea.
However, God speaks in the silence. I know this as truth. But I have no idea what He's saying. I need to work on the whole clarity/discernment thing. I've been so down lately, so wanting to give up. But then I remember where God has brought me from. I've come too far to turn around. When I think about how God has changed my life, I want nothing more than to be in His arms, to let Him lead me and stretch me. It's so worth it! So I've made my decision. I will not give up. I will press on toward the God I love and serve. I will trust Him with these situations in my life that I can't control. And I will wait patiently on His voice. I know He has something to say, something BIG, but He also has perfect timing that generally doesn't line up with what I want. My God is faithful. Father, I'm waiting on You. I will not give up, I will not back down, I will press on. You are worth the fight. I will not be shaken.
