aroma.

My life...I go from a complete stressed mess to being totally calm.  Lately I have been learning to rest in the Lord, this is definitely a challenge for me.  I want to rest in His love and presence everyday...even in the days that are so busy.  Visited Greenville again...so hard to go back to that place.  Every part of me wanted to be in college.  The excitement of moving in, starting new classes, and making new friends is desired.  It seems that college campuses are a breeding ground for opportunities.  As the trip went on, I was quickly assured the beach is the right place for me to be in life.  It has a much slower atmosphere and is perfect for growth in the Lord.  I feel like I can sit back and hear from Him.  I can't forget about all the amazing people I have met here!  Got an encouraging verse from a friend today.... 2 Cor. 2:14-15  "But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him.  For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing."  It is wonderful to know that God cares enough to use us in this broken world.  Even when I feel like I am "doing nothing" having the aroma of Christ is/should be a constant.  While seeking Jesus everyday this wonderful scent can't help but be released.  I am feeling super encouraged/ just a tad overwhelmed.  In such a broken world it is hard knowing that we can't fix everything.  Thankful for a father who loves us enough to let us know that is not our job.
