Another summer gone. I sit here in Texas and for the first time, in two and a half months, I don’t have any responsibilities. I don’t have to be at the tower in an hour or walk the mile hike out to high ropes. I can really just sit and do nothing. But the wierd thing is I don’t really want to do nothing. I think about my summer and I see how God has worked in my life. At the beginning of the summer I thought I knew what to expect, I thought I knew what my life was going to look like in the months to come and even years.
But God has different plans for my life. God taught me this summer that the only thing I can depend on is him. People fail me and I need to accept that. Although I still love people and will continue to serve, I need to know that the only one I can really depend on to be there every minute of every day is God.
So yes, I don’t want to do nothing. I want to continue to grow. I want to continue to serve. I want to prepare myself for the coming year, even though I have no idea what it has in store for me. So I pray that the Lord continues to transform my life. That I continue to be completely dependant on him.
