“Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a good conscience, desiring to conduct ourselves honorably in all things.“-Hebrews 13:18
I’ve been heavily heavily reflecting on my own in the past few weeks, only to find out about myself that there are things in my life where I don’t want to face the reality of…and it hit me big time this weekend.
Let’s start with this. For those that didn’t know, I serve as a chapter head along side of being a Mission Volunteer, and for our monthly Chapter Assembly, we coincidentally did the Emmaus Walk (this weeks gospel). I immediately reflected as I finished giving my talk as I again, went for a long walk mentally deep into the night…I was not happy about myself..
Then mass came on the Sunday. I was having anxiety, just feeling nervous and doubtful you could even say about some particular things (if you really wanna know, schedule a one on one or msg me) and honestly, I remember just having a thought in my head of why Christ was letting these things linger in my mind? Then I took communion.
Boom.
I immediately was reminded just like in the story of the Emmaus walk, that Jesus is and was always present. I was immediately just rushed with a sense of peace and upon more reflection, here is what I can say for those that have trouble in facing certain realities…
Christ loves you. There is a plan for each situation/struggle/victory that is currently happening, has happened, and will happen. Its hard to grasp the reality, but grasp the hand that the Lord has extended to you for all Your life.
Know the Creator. He holds our future. How well do you know the Lord?
Yeah, that’s pretty much it. Pray for me. I’ll pray for you. God is greater!
Lord, allow me to come face to face with Your plans. Though I do not know what they hold, allow me to have the posture of surrender to You, in order to fulfill Your desires for me. Though I am uncomfortable, vulnerable and broken in some parts of Your plans, may I look to You and lift up to you my earnest petitions and desires. Empty me, only to filled and emptied again. Amen.
Deo Gloria
