For those of you following the application process. (I don’t actually have an readers, but lets pretend). All of my transcripts are in to LSAC and that means my reports have been sent to law schools. Now I play the waiting game. Keep me in prayer.

The Book
For those readers who want an update on my book, it is still being revised and the second book is in progress. Additionally I have blocked out the plot for all five books until the end of any major inolvement of my characters in politics. I am thinking about writing a prequel chronicling the career of Valestor and Mathair or an even earlier prequel about the Lendarei heros Anthanias and Ibraim, but one thing at a time. Yes?
Perseverance
For reasons that don’t need to be explained I found myself in deep depression over the last two days. Sometimes those problems come along that seem unsurmountable. I, thankfully, found myself praying that God would restore my soul and teach me to overcome my difficulties. He reminded me that only four years ago I was in the exact same place with the exact same person making the exact same decision for the exact same reasons. At the time I was heartbroken (to a lesser extent) but I knew what I was doing was right. My decision was the correct one this time as well and I realized that if God could resurrect a valuable relationship after years of no contact he could do it again if it was his will. For now I pray for the memory of God’s actions and that God would let my grief subside in time. I will be fine, of course, but this has been truly refreshing as only grief can be. As I said not to long ago on my facebook, God is good all the time.
Revelations
I was skimming facebook and I realized just how much people around me are changing. I had the following revelations in scripture and thought about posting them but I realized I only wanted people to read them if they truly wanted to see where my scripture study has taken me lately. Consequently they will only appear on my blog.
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
Sheol and Abbaddon lie open before the Lord, how much more human hearts.
The human mind plans the way, but the Lord directs teh steps.
Tose who are attentive to a matter will prosper, and happy are those who trust in the Lord.
Sometimes there is a way that seems to be right, but in the end it is the way to death.
These are hard scriptures to apply but simple to understand. Sometimes God brings hardship so we can learn how to trust him and sometimes what seems like a derailing of our plans is God saving us from death. I pray God teaches me to apply these verses and teaches me to trust him in everything. I pray that God’s plan for me is not filled entirely with pain. I pray that those I care about will find happiness and spiritual fulfillment. I pray that God forgives me for my lack of faith.
Most of all I pray that I learn how to trust God.
P.S. there has been waaay too much to catch regular readers up on about things happenning. I’ll try to be more faithful from now on though.
