Seizing Your Devine Moment

Hey Guys!

haha I have once again fallen off the blogging chain... sorry about that! But let me just update you on some stuff that has gone on recently.

A few weeks ago I finished up my third year touring with Frick and Frack Music, up and down the east coast... and once again it was AMAZING! :D It was sort of bittersweet to leave though, knowing that I may not be able to return next year because after I graduate THIS MAY.. ;) I have to do my internship for the Worship Dept. Maybe.. just maybe I can get it approved to travel for a 4th summer, but we'll see where the Lord leads.

I am about a month into my senior year at Liberty... and I am doing FANTASTIC... classes haven't gotten too bad yet... but I am taking three 400 level classes this semester so it is going to be interesting. I have not gotten to behind in anything and have yet to procrastinate.. TOO much... haha... so far so good.

Right now I am reading a book called "Chasing Daylight" by Erwin McManus for my worship 421 (capstone) class... (this is the big on with a HUGE project at the end...) and it has so far really opened my eyes to some things.

I just finished the chapter on Uncertainty... HA man is that something that we go through a lot! Throughout the chapter McManus uses the example of Jonathan and his move to fight off the Philistines with just his arm bearer and a sword. Jonathan knew that God was with him and would protect him even though he was uncertain if he would have to die while fighting for God. He had the absolute confidence in the will and power of God going into an unknown situation.

As I was reading, I thought to myself that I would never be able to have THAT much confidence going into an uncertain situation... but then I read this:

"He will shake loose everything in which we place our trust outside of Him and teach us how to thrive in a future unknown"

WOW... well that put me in my place didn't it!? haha... itsn't it funny when you think of something while you are reading and then what you are reading completely and totally puts you in your place! hahaha. Jonathan was a brave man and had perfect and complete confidence in God... something that we all should strive for. We should trust that God has our best interests in mind and He knows the path he has for us. If we put our trust anywhere but in God... we won't make it!

Chasing Daylight is a book that really helps you realize that you need to find your divine moment and grab it before it slips from your grasp! I'll update you a little more later after I finish the book.. but I know it's gonna be good! :D

Well I just thought I would let you read a little of my thoughts.. haha... I'll try to post once a month or so... just to keep you updated on things...

thanks for reading
until next time!

GODbless!
Katie

it's so crazy to think that all of you guys are seniors in college!!! glad you're loving it ;)

capstone project isn't nearly as crazy as they make it out to be. just keep track of all your notes from all your previous core classes.

enjoy this year. savor every minute of it!
