I Can Say, "It Is Well."

Lately, I've been feeling an inner sense of calm, without many worries to disturb my peace. But of course, as a new convert, I'm "on watch," monitoring my feelings carefully, but I am trying to "let go, and let God."

There's a song by Chris Tomlin that I believe can accurately describe my feelings as of now...

There's a peace I've come to know
Though my heart and flesh may fail
There's an anchor for my soul
I can say "It is well"

Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead


And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles' wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise

No frustrations, no anxiousness, just a calm willingness to go with all He has in store, for He has given His all for me, for His plan for my life.

If and when He calls me, I pray that I am even the least bit observant enough to recognize this, and "rise" to Him. I believe this is one of my biggest flaws. I'm terribly oblivious and dumb. I hope to be able to train myself to recognize His signs. But, alas, He knows me better than I know myself, and therefore I trust He will make things known to me whenever He well pleases!

Anyway, I go back up to start my sophomore year of university at the Mount. I can't believe my Freshman year and summer have gone by this fast! I'll be out of college before I know it...I really am praying for a year as wonderful as the last. I am so blessed!
