Faithfullness, God's not mine.

I have been meaning to blog for a while, so here it finally is. haha
It is Wednesday, and here on project it is our night with the Lord. I am lucky that this night has been built into our Project. Yet, even with this luxery I spent most of my night meandering, (eating dinner, walking to Starbucks, then procrastination before I wrote this blog). I however did get the change to sit down with the other peeps from ECU and pray for our campus (a thing that we will be doing the rest of the summer).
Anyway, back to my point; my little bit of time that I give God and my small amount of faithfullness I trust in Him. Yet, my gracious and lovig God has still managed to hold onto me and teach me more aout Him regardless of my desire to learn. haha I am learning that I do not neccesarily have to strive to have a stronger relationshio with God, and work at "getting closer" to Him, but let go of my plans in what I want to learn and be open to what He is teaching me, and allow Him to grow me as He choses. This I think is the best plan. :)
I love God's faithfullness. In reading the book God's Big Picture before project, I really saw this exemplified. This books points out and walks us through how throughout the Bible and Jesus's teaching God is faithful to Isreal and the promise that He made to Abraham even when and regardless of Isreal's constant turning from God. AND, God had planned this all out before the world even began! Isn't that amazing?!
As I begin to see this in my own life, I am learning to trust in God and his plan for me. Of course we have all heard, Jeremiah 29:11¹¹ For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." No matter how cliche this may sound it still rings true.
All one of my favorites is Deuternomy 31:8 " ⁸The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”

This comorts my soul in knowing that God will lead me in all I do and what He wants to use me for, what ever that is. That even though I may fail, He is still in control and ges before me.
I have been praying both my God to increase my desire to know Him, and for financial support. I still have about $1,600 left to raise as the day staff leaves and my  money is due is drawing near (Next Monday). But, I have a faithful God, and one way or another He will provide, whenther it be in support from others or in the money that He has allowed me to earn with the job He so graciously had given me. Well that is a little bit for now, hopefull I will blog again before another 3 weeks has pasts. haha
Thank you all for your prayers. Have a good night.
