Busy God

It never ceases to amaze me how little I actually do in my life.

Yes, if you know me even a little, you know that I am constantly moving. I am involved in several campus clubs, teams, activities, etc., as well as being a 20-credit hour music student. I hardly sleep, and lately, even eating has become a lesser priority (which, again, if you know me, is unbelievable!)

But me, myself: I hardly do anything to make my life as incredible as it is. It's all Him. He is always giving.

Even in the midst of those moments where I feel He is absent in my day, my thoughts never travel far on this path. It is so obvious how He is moving in every aspect of my life. He is active in my friendships, academics, mission pursuits, prayers, and  even my song writing. So yes, I am physically doing a lot of work. But God is busy in my life. God is making all of these fruits manifest within me.

It's just incredible to think about: When I first became a follower of Christ, I prayed for two things specifically:

1. Wisdom
2. To be a vessel

I longed for wisdom after reading Solomon's writings and realizing what an incredible gift it was to have. Wisdom asks more than what the "right" or "moral" response is; wisdom as this life-altering connotation. Wisdom says something can be "right" yet still be "unwise". I wanted that discernment, not only for myself, but to share with others.

I prayed to be a vessel of the Lord, overflowing with spiritual blessings only to be filled again. I wanted, no matter how difficult or challenging, to be a servant of our great and powerful God! I wanted to be whatever He wanted me to be and let go of all the minor, insignificant plans I had for my life.

He has been faithful to these two prayers of mine.

He proposes to me every day. He shows me just how much He has for me, in this small 24-hour time period, and brings me back every time I wake up. He makes Himself known through me, and that's all I could ever hope for. My education, career, status, and even desires are secondary to my primary title: Daughter of the Most High.

Thank You, Lord, for being all that You've promised. Blessed be Your name.
