It is only a tiny rosebud,
A flower of God's design.
But I cannot unfold the petals
With these clumsy hands of mine.
The secret of unfolding flowers Is not known to such as I.
GOD opens this flower so sweetly,
Then in my hands, they die.
If I cannot unfold a rosebud,
The flower of God's design,
Then how can I have the wisdom
To unfold this life of mine?
So, I'll trust in Him for leading
Each moment of my day.
I will look to Him for His guidance
Each step of the Pilgrim's way.
The pathway that lies before me
Only my Heavenly Father knows.
I'll trust Him to unfold the moments,
Just as He unfolds the rose.
But like the stars in the vast circuit of their appointed path, God's purposes know no haste and no delay.~Desire of Ages 32
As my summer has been passing by quickly, my thoughts have been in turmoil! What would the Lord have me do this next year!? Today, I found out that Thailand is finally approved, so I will be going! Yay! Praise the Lord! I was so excited to finally find out, but then. . . . My friend that I was going to be traveling over with in a couple weeks is not able to go until September. I keep thinking, "Lord, should I go over there by myself?" (Not that I would be alone over there, just traveling over there and there would be no other girls from here.) I would get some good training, but they will also offer something like it in September when the rest of the group is going over. On the other hand, I have an option of working in a hospital here in Montana for a couple of months and getting that great experience! I know that the Lord will show me when I should go. I pray that these quotes will be as much of a blessing to you as they are to me! God bless you all!
My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from Him. Trust in Him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before Him: God is a refuge for us. Selah. ~~Psalms 62:5,8
