Lessons from my Roommate

"This is just another lesson to trust God's timing over your own. You can't be in control of this. BE OK WITH THAT!"

2:00 AM brings lots of randomness to suite 121, but sometimes inbetween the chocolate and the movies, there is a split second of soul searching. Without even knowing it, Erica told me exactly what I needed to hear, EXACTLY when I needed to hear it.

God's timing is perfect. I keep telling myself that. It's one of those things that I know to be true but have a hard time living by. I want control. I want specifics. I don't want to wait. But I'm learning. The past week I have focused my efforts (well all those efforts that weren't focused on Humanities) on trusting God's timing and control. I don't want to be in control when I think about it. I tend to screw things up. Although time and time again I have given up the reigns of my life to God and time and time again I feel myself spinning out of control and try to grasp hold of whatever I can. Typically that is a tiny shred of the reigns and I make myself comfortable again in my little created, controlled world. But my grasp is weak and eventually I fall, faster than before, before God's hand catches me and He says (in Kenzie paraphrase) "I told ya so." I hope and pray next time I fall I reach first for God's hand.
