Nearing the End
…The funny thing about moving to the next page, or to the next chapter, is that you have to leave the old one behind; I’ve grown quite attached to this current chapter, and I don’t know what’s going to happen with the people I love next semester. …
See, I’m a planner. I love planning things, and often make plans that don’t come to fruition just for the sake of making them. I love to be in control, and I’m always prepared to be in control. And the problem is, I don’t know what’s going to happen in 4 months when I get back to APU. No matter how hard I try to plan these things, I can’t do it, because I don’t know what the circumstances I will be in. …
I can relate to this so much. The school year is almost over and I still don’t know what I am doing or where I will be this summer. I love making plans and looking at the different trajectories of my life, but I have no idea what the future holds for me. I just come back to 1 Corinthians 2:9. I try to stay focused on the present and abide in Him now so he can use me later.

God's glory
God created the universe to bring glory to his name. So does he bring glory by the revelation of his power and wrath in judgment against the ungodly, or by having creatures who love him. Can it be both, but then does one come with lesser importance?
