We live in a world that is constantly shoving world views into our minds. The world says believe in yourself. God says believe in Jesus. The world says follow your heart. God says follow Him. The world says do what you need to get on top. God says show humility and honor. The world says buy everything you want. God says sell all that you have. The world says live until you die. God says die so that you may live. The world says the key to happiness is peace and love. God says I am joy, peace and love.
God wasn't kidding when He said the world will suck you in. We are consumed by a culture that feeds our souls idols at the click of a button. The character of patience is long lost and in the past. We get the things we want before we can actually sit and think. We do instead of pray. We act before we speak. And we complain before we give thanks. I often catch myself with this mindset while in traffic. I get so aggravated when someone cuts me off or heaven forbid they need to get over and I don't want to let them in because well getting where I need to be one minute earlier is extrememly important.
As I entered the working world I've encountered so many new things. One thing struck me today. Working in an IB school, I have many students who strive for perfection with their grades. Anything less than an A is just not good enough. Of course I want my students to reach these goals. However, how can it be a goal if you're already at the top? I'd be without a job that's for sure. Yet, I can't really blame them for not thinking this way. We are surrounded by a culture that tells us these things. But where does failure come in? We do indeed all fail at one point in our lives. Why don't we prepare our future generation for the realities of these truths as well? And then it hit me, another world view that is in oppostition to the gospel. The world tells us that we need to be perfect. Rarely do I hear that in order to obtain it, we must grow. A plant doesn't just sprout the second you put it in the soil. It takes time and care. With God, we obtain perfection through sanctification which is given to us through Jesus. He cares deeply for us and ensures that our lives are full of meaning and purpose. We will remain sinners until we die, but how amazing is God's grace that we can rest in knowing that we are no longer in bondage to sin and guilt. What a wonderful thought to know that even through the struggles, just like my 6th graders, we can have confidence and faith that one day we will be made perfect.

The heart is decietful above all things
I love science. I get a whirl of raw emotion as I sit and ponder what God has made. Everything in this universe was created by Him and through Him. From the farthest star in the sky to the deepest creature in the ocean. From the blue of my eyes to the valves in my heart that keep blood flowing in one direction. There is no human being that intelligent to design something so intricate. Of course they have tried, and yes science is filled with amazing new findings and inventions everyday. However, I believe they can do these things because God has given them this ability through the creation He created. Who tells God what to do and how to do it but Himself?
The heart is an interesting and complex thing. Physiologically speaking, it is in fact what keeps us alive. Yes, we need other things to function as well, but it all goes back to the heart. Even the brain can die and yet the body still lives if the heart is beating. Spiritually speaking it's what keeps us close to God or what separates us. The world is constantly saying "follow your heart". But do I really want to follow my heart? It seems that every time I do, I'm only trying to satisfy my sinful desires. On the other hand, when I'm seeking God- dying to myself daily, laying my burdens at the foot of the cross- I see godly desires strengthened. The heart is a truly deceptive thing. At times it can encourage us to follow the Lord's way, and at other times it can lead us to sin.
I find that J.C Ryle says it best," I fear we do not sufficiently realize the extreme subtlety of our soul's disease. We are too apt to forget that temptation to sin will rarely present itself to us in its true colors, saying, 'I am your deadly enemy, and I want to ruin you forever in hell.' Oh no! Sin comes to us, like Judas, with a kiss; and like Joab, with an outstretched hand and flattering words." One day, we will no longer have to worry about our hearts keeping us from Christ. There is nothing scarier than knowing our own hearts can deceive us of truth. I have seen and experienced how important it is to fill my mind with the wisdom of the Lord in order to fight this war within. I am so glad the Lord uses times in our sanctification to show us our sin, to humble us and bring us back to the only Truth that will lead to everlasting life. Christ has come and died to give us the Holy Spirit and new hearts; praise God He did not leave us to ourselves.
Jeremiah 17
5 Thus says the Lord:
“Cursed is the man who trusts in man
and makes flesh his strength,
whose heart turns away from the Lord.
6 He is like a shrub in the desert,
and shall not see any good come.
He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness,
in an uninhabited salt land.
7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
whose trust is the Lord.
8 He is like a tree planted by water,
that sends out its roots by the stream,
and does not fear when heat comes,
for its leaves remain green,
and is not anxious in the year of drought,
for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
9 The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately sick;
who can understand it?
10 “I the Lord search the heart
and test the mind,
to give every man according to his ways,
according to the fruit of his deeds.”
11 Like the partridge that gathers a brood that she did not hatch,
so is he who gets riches but not by justice;
in the midst of his days they will leave him,
and at his end he will be a fool.
12 A glorious throne set on high from the beginning
is the place of our sanctuary.
13 O Lord, the hope of Israel,
all who forsake you shall be put to shame;
those who turn away from you shall be written in the earth,
for they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living water.

I serve a faithful God
I am beyond amazed at the Lord's provision these past 5 months after college. I love that we serve a God who desires the best for us and cares for His people enough to take certain things away in order to build up our character and give us even more through it. Let me share with you my journey thus far.
After graduation, I was still uncertain of what I was doing. I had finally decided that graduate school for linguistics was not where I was supposed to be right now and I started applying to elementary schools. I moved home for two weeks for Christmas break and had an interview lined up for a preschool in Tampa in January- not my first choice but it was something. I was overjoyed to get the position right away because it meant that I could live in Tampa; exactly where my heart wanted to stay. The next day after being hired I received a call for my first interview with an elementary school. I couldn't believe it! My first adult interview. However, I did not get the job. So, a little bummed but still thankful for a full time job, I began my adventure at the preschool.
In the meantime, I moved in with Inge in New Tampa. After 3 and half years of living in apartments, it was nice moving into a house. Unfortunately though, it was far from many of my friends, especially with the horrible traffic. It was okay at first, but as the semester moved forward, our schedules became busier and I saw less and less of my college friends. My job also became my life. You'd think working at a preschool wouldn't be too bad. Oh did I have it coming. I worked the normal 8 to 5 hours like a lot of people do, but the amount of stress that came with it only added to my exhaustion. I felt like I was working 50 hours a week rather than 40.
I encountered some hardships and persecution along the way. The management was poor and produced a horrible environment; I constantly saw how God was trying to draw me closer to Him. I felt as though they wanted to see how much they could take without giving any in return. Left in a classroom alone with 11 2 year olds basically everyday, I was at my last ends trying to provide for my students the most that I could with such high demands from my managers. Yet, God provided wonderful coworkers, students and parents. They were wonderful and I enjoyed being around them so much! That was hope and encouragement enough to keep me going. 1 corinthians 10:13, "No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." This was my escape to let me know that His sovereign hand was over me. Through much prayer, encouragement from friends and meditation on His word, I was able to push through.
I am also thankful that God allowed me to see the sin that was present. It would have been very easy for me to believe the lies that my managers were telling me if I had not also seen that this persecution was not limited to me but the entire staff. I was not the only teacher left alone, but in fact most of the teachers were as well. No matter how much the parents complained, it only seemed to make the managers push more blame on us. One day I got my paycheck and noticed my pay rate was lowered. When I went to my manager she was not as surprised as I was and had no intention of informing me of this change. Instead she told me that they hadn't noticed they were paying me that much- for two months- and decided to change it. Her reasoning was that I was supposed to start out at a different pay rate anyway, and that they were doing me a favor by bumping me down only 50 cents instead of a dollar. She also encouraged me that it had nothing to do with my performance. I felt very mistreated and manipulated. Everything in me wanted to stand up for myself and demand respect. God was so gracious to me and held my tongue for me. What came out of my mouth next were words that not even I had expected. I politely said "Okay, thank you so much" and walked back to my classroom. There of course was still anger residing inside me for most of the day, but God kept humbling me. Again through much prayer, encouragement from friends and meditation on His word, I was able to keep pushing through.
About a month later, one of my parents came to me and told me she was pulling her child from the preschool. She had expressed her concerns to me before, so I was not very surprised. She made sure I knew that it had nothing to do with me and everything to do with the management. She walked out the door and I thought nothing of it. About 3 minutes before I was due to leave work, my manager called me on my phone and asked if I could come in before I left. I walked into the office and there lay a sheet of paper. They told me that it was my 3 month review and said I could go ahead and read it before we began the conversation. I began reading. Not one good thing about me was written on that paper. Not one. I read the last sentence where it said my last day was that very day. My heart sank. I was utterly speechless and was struggling with what I should say. I remember amongst the fight to keep back the tears, I said one simple prayer: God help me. I started talking. Though my voice was trembling with nervousness and complete lack of confidence in myself, God gave me words of assurance to say. He again held back my anger and provided words of reason and truth. I left with that piece of paper saying how horrible I was as an employee, and immediately felt the lies sinking in. I was greeted by John who had decided to surprise me after work and the tears immediately emerged. God provided encouragement through John, other coworkers, and even parents reminding me that those things they said of me were not true.
Through their encouragement I was able to move forward and begin my job search. About two weeks in, I found myself believing the lies once again. I had never noticed before that on applications they specifically ask if you have ever been fired. How on earth would I get a job? What I thought I could leave behind was only following me. One day, I found that piece of paper in my car. I immediately felt the anger and lies beginning to sink in once again. I felt defeated. They had won. Like the world, I began to believe that bad people come out on top and no matter how hard you try, its easy to be trampled on. I was playing the victim. Once I realized this, it was like a light bulb went off in my head. I asked myself, where does your trust reside? In the Lord, of course. Then why am I so willing to say that this small, minute thing defines who I am. I was so worried about what people would believe and think of me through this, that I didn't want anyone to know. It was embarrassing and gave a false view of who I was. God grabbed a hold of my heart and showed me my sin. 1 peter 5:5-10 says this:
I was too proud to tell people. Instead of knowing that my identity was in Christ and resting on His righteousness alone, I unknowingly wanted people to see mine. It's scary how deceptive sin can be. God is faithful and will provide if you ask Him. I asked God in that moment to remind me of His promises and who I am in Christ. To forgive me and bring contentment even in a time of uncertainty. I asked Him for His strength to believe truth rather than lies. And to know that He reigns victorious at the right hand of God. What more should I know than these truths? I was without a job for about 2 months before something came up. It has been amazing to see how many doors have opened through waiting patiently for His will. I now have a babysitting job with a couple who were at the preschool I worked at. I also have plans to house sit for two weeks in June. And I just found out today that I have another babysitting job and possibly more. I have received so much love and support from my fellow believers in Christ. It is humbling and beautiful to see the care from people looking out for me during this time. God truly does care for His people. He shows it through good things and bad. I have seen much fruit and goodness come out of this that I would have never thought possible. Then again, everything is possible with the Lord. :)

Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. 10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace,who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore,confirm, strengthen, and establish you."

God be merciful to me (Psalm 51)
God, be merciful to me;
On Thy grace I rest my plea
Plenteous in compassion Thou
Blot out my transgressions now;
Wash me, make me pure within;
Cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin.
My transgressions I confess;
Grief and guilt my soul oppress.
I have sinned against Thy grace,
And provoked Thee to Thy face.
I confess Thy judgment just;
Speechless, I Thy mercy trust.
I am evil born in sin;
Thou desirest truth within.
Thou alone my Savior art,
Teach Thy wisdom to my heart;
Make me pure, Thy grace bestow,
Was me whiter than the snow.
Broken, humbled to the dust
By Thy wrath and judgment just,
Let my contrite heart rejoice,
And in gladness hear Thy voice;
From my sins O hide Thy face,
Blot them out in boundless grace.
Gracious God, my heart renew,
Make my spirit right and true.
Cast me not away from Thee,
Let Thy spirit dwell in me;
Thy salvation's joy impart,
Steadfast make my willing heart.
Sinners then shall learn from me,
And return, O God, to Thee
Savior all my guilt remove,
And my tongue shall sing Thy love
Touch my silent lips, O Lord,
And my mouth shall praise accord.

Twice in one week..I know I know, don't get too excited.
"Lord, today I give myself anew to you. I give up all my own plans and purposes, all my own desires and hopes, and accept Thy will for my life. I give myself, my time, my all, utterly to Thee to be Thine forever. Fill me and seal me with Thy Holy Spirit. Use me as Thou wilt, send me where Thou wilt, work out Thy whole will in my life at any cost, now and forever."-Betty Scott Stam (a missionary in China who was led through the streets with her husband to their execution by decapitation, while their baby lay in its crib. This was her daily prayer.)Lord, I praise You for Your sovereignty in my life. I praise You for Your steadfast love. For bestowing upon me grace after grace. For allowing me to see and behold your character and majesty. For reminding me what matters most and to what end I live my life. Help me to continually seek after You. Help me to keep my eyes upon heaven and what is eternal rather than temporal. I want to give myself to serve You and others. I want to exchange everything that I am for everything You are. "My weariness for Your strength, my darkness for Your light, my problems for Your solutions, my burdens for Your freedom, my frustrations for Your peace, my hopes for Your promises, my afflictions for Your balm of comfort, my questions for Your answers, my confusion for Your knowledge, my doubt for Your assurance, my nothingness for Your awesomeness, the impossible for the possible."-Elizabeth George

Romans 5:6-11
As I sat listening to Obama give his speech last night about the death of Osama Bin Laden I was quickly reminded of sitting in my reading class in 7th grade watching those towers fall. Being only 12, I didn't really understand everything that was going on. I couldn't understand the full affect it had on so many lives. I was sad and burdened for these families, but did I truly comprehend the depths of pain this man and so many others brought on that day? No. I was only 12. Ten years later, I sat there on my couch and was struggling with what I should be feeling. I wanted to rejoice but found myself fighting it. This terrible man isn't just dead, but in hell. Knowing this, I couldn't fully rejoice. Yes, I believe he deserves it. God's justice is perfect and I trust in the Lord's sovereign will. However, I can't help but remember that I deserve it as well. Though I may not be a mass murderer, my sin is just as selfish. I was humbled as I sat there pondering this. To know that the only reason I wasn't in his shoes is because of God's merciful hand on my life.
Then this next question came to mind: Would I be able to rejoice if the Lord had saved Bin Laden? Paul encouraged martyrdom of Christians as well, yet we are very glad to this day that the Lord chose to save him. I wonder how people felt when they first heard of Paul's conversion. What about my closer enemies? It's easy to push them away and say the Lord will deal with them. The difficult part and almost forgotten: Praying for their souls. Their need for Jesus is just as strong as mine.
With that being said, I was still able to rejoice over the gratitude I have for our troops and those that have given their lives over the past 10 years. It's a bittersweet victory indeed.

New Beginnings
It's been a while! Short update: Got a job at a preschool. Have a class of 11 2 year olds. Love them all! Except for one. Let's just say working with kids shows you sin nature at its best. I'm so thankful for this job though because it kept me in Tampa :) God has answered so many prayers that I've had for the past year and a half just in the last couple months. I've definitely been experiencing how waiting for the Lord brings about the best blessings in life. I've also noticed that it makes you pretty content and less uneasy about what the future holds. God is awesome!
It's kind of strange not being in college anymore. There are many things I miss, like Spring break for instance. Hanging out with friends whenever I wanted, even during the day. Having a day off other than Saturday and Sunday. RUF. Not paying for things. Things I don't miss: homework...hahah. It's definitely a weird transition that people had warned me about but I wasn't expecting it to feel this way. However, with every change comes new blessings and I'm ready for whatever my after college life may bring. I've already encountered a couple and its only been a few months ;)
