I've been thinking a lot lately how life flows on and on. Whether you want it to or not... Sometimes it seems like its not the decisions we make that decide where life takes us, but rather that we're being carried along in its current-
"In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps." -Proverbs 16:9
I went to Lifechurch tonight after feeling deeply sad. While there a song played with the refrain, "Its all because of Jesus I'm alive- its all because the blood of Jesus Christ." I'm reminded that my life doesn't have anything to do with graduating from school or getting a job or making decisions about the future. The Lord has a plan and he knows what it is. The important thing is that because of Jesus my heart is alive. And I don't need all those other things- He is enough.
A few nights ago, Ashlie and I went for a run at Mitch Park. About a mile along, it started to downpour. And as we ran in the rain, drenched to the bone, I looked over at her and knew,
An alive heart is what life is all about.
