May the mind of Christ

Having just read my friend's most recent post on her blog, my whinging sounded so grr :( Sometimes im sitting in the lectures or walking around cumbo, and i find that i become quite impatient with what im studying there. There is so much confusion and unrest in me sometimes, like surely i must have a passion for some area of study? Why aren't i studying maths or something? Why that sudden change in uac preferences from adv maths? Hmm i don't understand.

But im greatly encouraged by my friend's thankfulness for her being in a car accident that left 2 vertebrae fractured. Through her, i can see God's love, God's grace, God working His purposes out, and it's amazingly beautiful :) I've no doubt that she's had a couple of small struggles with her situation, but God has been so good, so merciful and has filled her with such inexpressible peace :) I'm so grateful God has blessed me with such wonderful sisters and brothers, that He saved us into such wonderful relationships with Him and His family :) Reading her blog was refreshing to say the least.

People ask me what i'll do after i graduate, and i don't know. Options are too broad at the moment, and there's always doubt as to whether certain options would be available in the future. But this i know, that God is good. I don't know what will happen in 2 years time, or in half a year's time ... i don't even know if i'll live for another month or another day, but i do know that God is working His purposes out, and they are good. He alone knows what is best for each and every one of us, and He is loving and gracious :) Looking back, i can see that He's answered some of my deepest prayers already! In around 10 days time, something even more exciting for me may be started ... but let His will be done :) Taste and see that the Lord is good (Psalm 34) and may we become only channels for God!


May the mind of Christ, my Savior,
Live in me from day to day,
By His love and power controlling
All I do and say.

May the Word of God dwell richly
In my heart from hour to hour,
So that all may see I triumph
Only through His power.

May the peace of God my Father
Rule my life in everything,
That I may be calm to comfort
Sick and sorrowing.

May the love of Jesus fill me
As the waters fill the sea;
Him exalting, self abasing,
This is victory.

May I run the race before me,
Strong and brave to face the foe,
Looking only unto Jesus
As I onward go.

May His beauty rest upon me,
As I seek the lost to win,
And may they forget the channel,
Seeing only Him.
