It's the End of an Era.

So today is September 1st. 

DANG.

And with the coming of this day brings the end of an era.

This marks the end of summer. 

SO SAD. 

It's time to get myself together.

Tomorrow I head back to North LA. 

I've gotta get all my stuff packed.

(I'm close! Oh so close!!)

I've gotta get that car washed and loaded down. 

It's so weird to think that I'm about to go back to "real life."

What does that even mean????

I can't even begin to remember what "real life" is. 

This has been one CRAZY summer.

This summer has been one of the most difficult and challenging times in my life. 

But it's also been one of the most exciting and rewarding times too.

The things I've experienced have been life changing.

The Lord has worked and moved.

And I've gotten to watch it all firsthand. 

And what a show it has been. 

But now it's time to DO WORK.

I am so pumped for this year at school. 

The Lord is going to do some serious work at Tech.

I can't wait to be a part of what He has planned for me.

I know He's going to use my specific gifts and talents for His kingdom.

But I also know that I'm not even going to realize He's doing it.

He's pretty sneaky like that.

The Lord has made me uniquely.

(Psalm 139:13-16)

He made me with purpose. 

(Ecclesiastes 3:1, Jeremiah 1:5)

He made me specifically for that purpose. 

The really cool thing is that since He's made me uniquely and specifically for special purposes, what makes me think I can't accomplish whatever He puts in front of me.

HELLO.

He said I am made specifically for this.

So I will have everything I need to do what He needs me to.

And if you still have doubts...

...the Lord says that He will always provide you WHATEVER you may need.

(Philippians 4:19)

Therefore, if I am truly working hard to do what the Lord has made me for then how could I fail?

How can the Lord not prevail??

The Lord will always succeed. 

Therefore, I will always succeed.

(Jeremiah 1:17-19) 

Well as long as I keep doing what He wants and not what I want.
