My God is Mighty to Save.

This weekend has been beyond incredible. Friday was pretty easy and included a trip to Centennial park which has always been a favorite spot of mine in the city. Then I took engagement pictures for Sara and Matt. I have never hung out with them together, but they are so precious together. :)


this is my favorite and assumedly everyone else's.

Friday night we went to the hypnotist at school and it was so hilarious. Then later we went to IHOP, and even though Tim was terribly late, we had a great time.

We slept in ridiculously late on Saturday and watched movies until we could go to Bethany's. We loaded up and went waaaaay out to her new house (which is amazing by the way). We watched Sound of Music for Meredith and I was very glad she enjoyed it. Now we can run through the streets of Salzburg singing Do Re Mi.
When we left we got stopped by a sobriety check point and well I got my space invaded. I found it random and misplaced, but hey Franklin really wants their streets safe, so I guess you have to do it. :)

This morning we went to Otter Creek and tonight we went to Ethos. I had never been to either and I was very surprised I enjoyed both. I found it very interesting that both main speakers had something to say about trusting God. It basically smacked me in the face. In my life lately I've been trying to deal with everything by myself, trusting only myself to get through it. I don't want to give it to God because it's too petty, and not important enough to even try and tell Him about it. Or I want to figure it out myself or be mad about it so I have something to hold onto. But I don't like this feeling. This feeling of how in any move I make, I WILL hurt someone, even if it is myself. I don't want to hurt my first love, I don't want to hurt any potentials, I don't want to hurt my heart. I'm more worried about the first one. That I will hurt him too much that he will never want me again. Even though I feel like what we're doing is the right thing.

But my problems are nothing compared to what is even happening in Nashville. Just on the way home alone we saw a prostitute and a pimp, and their problems are probably so much more heavier than mine. Mine will be settled in a few months no doubt, just a small mole hill to get over. But there's could be life changing.

Suffice to say, I need to trust God more. Like the way I can trust just about any new person I meet. If I can do that, why is it so hard to trust my maker? My Father? The One who knows me better than I know myself? It's hard to let go of my emotions and just be happy no matter what. And I don't know what I want.

So Lord, please help me give this all to You. Help me TRUST you and Your will and plan for me. Help me not give into temptation and let me believe in what you have prepared for my future. You know my beginning and end. My now and forever. I have to TRUST that You will get me through everything.

Thanks.
