Peace.
It’s an odd thing to experience and can be even more difficult to describe. Peace. You can feel, hear it, deeply experience it. But how does it come about? Why do we need it? How do I know I need it?
Peace. It is something I’ve experienced during rough times in life and yet there have been times when life is calm, but yet I feel no peace.
Life has been a whirlwind of events in the past few weeks. From finishing and presenting my senior research to family visiting to graduating to my last event with Intervarsity. There were so many questions thrown at me from so many people: “You excited you’re graduated?”, ” What are you doing now?”, “You want to go to grad school?”, “What are you doing after your mission trip?” Normally, I would love to answer all of these questions, but I couldn’t. I know that I am going on the race, but that is about all I knew.
I couldn’t feel any emotions. I was in limbo. I was in limbo for a few weeks until I went to my final year at Rockbridge Camp with Intervarsity. I was so scared to talk in my small group because I didn’t have anything to talk about. I didn’t know how i felt or what my emotions were. The second night there I finally got to worship. The Lord met me where I was standing that night and gave me peace.
He gave me peace about graduating . He provided me with peace about leaving the country. He gave me peace about not knowing what comes next. Peace doesn’t take away from anything that is happening, but the peace reminds me that God is in control. He has created a perfect plan for my life and I can find peace in that.
The Lord is my peace.
In God’s Love,
Emily
