PEACE

Hi Friends!
About this time last year (early September) I remember driving to the Buffalo Conference attempting to memorize Shakespeare's lines for my British Literature class.
I also remember asking Diana to go to the Spanish teacher to make sure she received everything for the scholarship since it seemed like it wasn't coming.
I remember thinking long into the night, worrying, anxious about, well just about everything. 
I would get so caught up in "if I don't get an A on this paper/assignment God, then I'm not meant to be in school" situation. How immature I was. 
I worried about everything. When I say everything, I mean every. little. thing. 
I thought I trusted God. I thought. 

This year I feel, well, peace.
I'm not any more confident in myself. In fact some of you know my famous quote of, "I'm not smart" but now I have a completely different attitude towards that. Poor Olga had to hear it every day. 
I always say, if I get somewhere in life, it isn't me. It's God, who through my weaknesses is made strong.
I just have peace in my heart. God-given peace! The Lord has been good to me, and I know He put me through that. I've learned so much. I feel like I was such a fool in that "season of life" regarding what the Scripture says. However, I'll share that in a future post.
I would like to leave you with one verse:
Philippians 4:7

Blessings,
Lesya

  1. I know exactly how you feel. Those anxieties, insecurities, sleepless nights, are all too familiar with me. I know in my heart that if I get anywhere in life it's through the power of God within me. But that is not to drag us down, but force us to shoot for the stars, and do all things as unto the Lord. God bless you Lesya.
