Romans 8:28: "and we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose."
I've always loved this verse... But last night when I was thinking about being in Branson all summer, with 60 other students that i don't know, working in a fast food restaraunt, I began to question the truth of this verse. I mean yeah, I believe that God's Word is absolutely the truth, but it was more of me asking God- why do you want me to go there? Why can't I just stay here and maybe go a different summer? And I felt God saying ask me again tomorrow night. And tonight after meeting people and getting to know my roommates, I am truly overwhelmed with what He's doing and is going to do this summer! I couldn't have picked more amazing roommates, and when we introduced ourselves earlier and said what we were most looking forward to during the summer, it was so encouraging to know that everyone is really here for the right reasons. So as I'm about to lay my head down I feel like God is saying: Romans 8:28- do you believe me now? He called me to Branson for the summer, and He is ALWAYS working things out for my good :) God always gets it right, always. It's a shame that I keep letting myself forget that. :) thanks for praying and supporting me in many ways! Love you all! -Kristi
