Father, by the end of this semester, what will my life look like? What will I be heavily involved and invested in? Who will be the most important people in my life? Who will I come to know and trust? Who will I come to know and trust even better than I do now? Who will hurt me? And ultimately, how will I have learned to love and forgive people better?And I took a step back, because the first words of my prayer were, "... I'm not sure what I'm thinking. My mind is kinda drawing to a blank this morning." But I looked at this flow of questions, and I feel like they're really good questions for constant reflection throughout this semester.
But above all, this morning, I remember and re-acknowledge my desire to finally be home with the Father. All I can do with this life is to seek the ways to grasp just a touch of His Presence.
Fall 2013, you ain't got nothing on a God who loves and relentlessly pursues me.
Amen!
ReplyDeleteI like this way of ringing in the new school year. I think it's going to be amazing! And God is going to bring us to new places this year where we never thought we could get to by ourselves.
I am excited! :)
Love,
Catherine
