Trusting God!

This morning I was reminded that "Trusting God means looking beyond what we can see to what God sees."  As I look forward to graduation next week, I am trusting God for what He has next! I know that He already knows and sees my future even if I can't see what He sees.

Upon me coming to seminary, many asked or wondered what was I going to seminary "to be" (a preacher, a missionary, a nun, etc.). I didn't come to seminary "to be" anything.  I came to seminary because I am an obedient servant of the Most High.  And after seminary, I am a more equipped obedient servant of the Most High. The program God sent me to complete was a graduate diploma program in Biblical & Theological Studies.  The primary focus of this program was to study the Scriptures in more depth. God's purpose for sending me to Phoenix Seminary has been fulfilled and now I'm trusting Him for whatever He has next!

While seminary was God's primary purpose for sending me to Phoenix, it was not His only purpose! There was so much more that He had planned.  Being in Phoenix has been an amazing part of my life's journey! I AM HIS!
