The End is Near....

Well I am sitting here, perpetually cramming for my Microbio final... thinking to myself.... I AM A STRESS BAG... then I thought gee whiz aren't you supposed to be giving this all to God Jillian. Because that's what i set out to do this week and from now on. Anyway, so i realized that I need to make more time in my life for God and that this test is going to be okay. God has my back! So i just wanted to spend a little time praising him this morning.
I want to praise and thank Him for everything He has so generously giving me. My family, my friends, my opportunities, and last and most importantly Him. These past couple of days have really taught me that I need to rely on Him more despite the onslaught of temptation and doubt that hits me everytime. I need to remember that He pulls through every time maybe not when I would like, but in His Time, which is always the perfect moment anyway. I thank Him that He has given us such a beautiful day in connecticut seeing that the whole of MASS back home lost heat and power. I thank Him that He gave the people back home places and people to go to in their time of need so that they were not alone and afraid. I thank Him for the Grace and Mercy He has shown my family in this bad economic time in keeping both my parents jobs safe. I basically want to thank Him for being Him and just loving each and everyone of His people the same.
There are also some things I would like to pray for and if you want to pray for them too that would be great. The first is His direction for my life. I think I may have figured it out but I need some encouragement and continued prayer to know that I am on the right track and that it is His will being done and not my own. The second is I want to pray for the work being done in Bethany Needham's heart to build a health clinic in Africa. I pray that if it is God's will for that to happen than it will be done. It is a great idea, and a true testament to God's love and I wish her and all involved the best of luck. I am going to try to help the efforts as best I can but I figured if i put it in the blog that maybe some other people might see it and want to help too. Even if it was just to pray for those involved.

Anyway, I praise God for this beautiful day and pray that I will be reminded of His Awesome Love even if things do not go as planned or as smoothly as I would like.

Yours in Christ,
Jillian
