A Continuous Service

I know that despite my own condition, whatever present or future ailment, joy or tribulation, I will continuously serve the Lord. 


It's so easy to praise the Lord when things are going well and your way. However, it's not so easy to praise the Lord when things aren't so great and, well, not going your way.


For the past month or so, I struggled with this very thing.


I struggled a lot with "Head Knowledge" and "Application."
I knew that God is in control and that no matter what happens, he would still be glorified, but I struggled to live it out. 


After exhausting myself from worrying so often about the little things that I had absolutely no control over, God gave me a reminder. When things are within or out of our reach, we should still give it up to God: Head Knowledge. But did I? Application.


The Lord had changed my heart. He gave me a sense of peace in knowing that no matter where I go and no matter what I do, I would still be serving Him. Serving him in the classroom, at work, at church, etc. Aside from my service to God being continuous, the Lord still remains faithful to those who love him.


Lamentations 3:22-24
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end' they are new every morning' great is your faithfulness. "The Lord is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him."


So, 5 class crashes later, and adding several unnecessary classes, I have ALL my classes that I need. Praise the Lord! And to my pleasant surprise, I'm enjoying every single one of them. I have a genuine interest, so it's awesome! :)

I'm currently taking ASL 4, Anatomy and Anatomy Lab, Educational Psychology, and Intro to Jazz. So excited and still as busy as ever! These classes are definitely going to be a challenge, but it's a challenge I don't mind. They're class I need and they're practical for life.

Thank you so much for all your prayers, love and support! It means the world to me.

  1. Hang on, Hannah. Our God is so wonderful. He's all we need. However, it's easy to forget that fact esp. when we have to struggle with hardship or even...temptation.The Lord our God bless you and take care of you. Love you.

  2. Glad you got your classes, Hannah! Have fun with ASL - I am so proud of you and He is, too! You're right, we so need to rely on Him even when we are "in control." It's a lesson I'm constantly relearning! -Marsha
