Confusion of feelings, not feelings by Confusius
Well, it's almost time to go back to Maine. It feels so weird. We had a going away party for me on Sunday night and it felt so not normal, because this feels like where I should be. Everything from now on out until I leave is all about saying good-bye and I don't really like that. I feel like now I am just getting connected to people here and that I'm starting to have impacts on people and I'm being impacted by them - and now I must leave them.
I know that God is not a God of confusion, but I am confused about how I feel. No one can really understand the struggles that go on inside of people in certain situations, so that is why I put that even wise men like Confusius can't pinpoint how people feel about things. So, ya, I'm in a different mood. On top of that, I am trying to put together a sermon for Sunday night on the authority that Jesus has and claimed to have.
It's difficult in the midst of all that is happening to try to figure this all out, but God is good and He will focus me and help me.
There has been some exciting happenings here as well that has interupted my thoughts a little bit too, but God is in control of all that too. Despite circumstances, and despite emotions and feelings, God is still sovereign and in full control of all things, and praise be to Him for that.
But please, pray for me as I struggle through having to leave this place, a place that I love with people that I love, both saved and unsaved. It is going to be hard to leave here for me, I know it! So, I ask that you please pray that God would work mightily in all this.
May the rest of the time here be a testimony of God's faithfulness and His will - not mine! May Jesus reign in my heart and in your heart, and may you abandon it all and love everything less than the love that you carry for God!
Confusion is okay - especially when we give it to God and trust in Him with all our heart and when we don't lean on our own understanding. We must acknowledge Him in all we do and He will make our paths straight.
God is LOVE!
Loved.

Thanks Jess for the encouragement. I love that quote! It's worthy of being written as a good reminder to me, so that i can be reminded of the fact that I am His, this is His mission. Thanks Jess.

Dwight...I'll sure be praying for you. I totally understand how it would be hard to leave. I felt like that a tiny bit when we left, but I'm sure nothing like what you are experiencing. So, I'll be praying. But thanks so much for this phrase..."Confusion is okay - especially when we give it to God and trust in Him with all our heart and when we don't lean on our own understanding. We must acknowledge Him in all we do and He will make our paths straight.
God is LOVE!" Wow! Yeah, thanks for that...confusion is okay. I hadn't exactly thought of it that way before, but it was something I needed to hear. Keep striving after Him no matter where you are! ~Nichole
