Where do I belong…with Jesus

 

Lately, I have felt really out of place. I’m in my last year of college and I’m ready to be done. I’m ready to Go.The World Race is months away and sometimes it seems unreal. I look at life: friends getting married, graduation announcements, my youth group girls, and my family, and it doesn’t seem real. At this time next year I won’t be here. I’m trying to be here and let God work in me and use me here and now. It is hard though. God has really used certain things and people to teach me the balance. Keeping my eyes on Him an having my alone time with Him is where I’m at. Sometimes I lose focus and forget where I’m heading, and then I get back on track. I’m in a Gospels class and that has helped me so much to just look at the life of Jesus. No matter where he was in His ministry, He always took time to get away and be with God. ” After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone” (Matthew 14:23). He has been showing me how to do that. My life is pretty busy and at times I feel so restless, but then I fight for that time alone with Jesus. It rocks me. It changes me. He shows me to relax, be with Him, soak up His love. He is with me, giving me peace. Everything will be fine. Where I belong now is at the feet of Jesus.
