Our time here in South Carolina is coming to an end. Micah and I are taking a weekend trip to Myrtle Beach which is where he proposed. On Monday Micah graduates from AG BOLC. I'll fly to visit my parents for a little over a week, and Micah will hang around Ft. Jackson before he reports to Ft. Benning, Georgia on Friday. We will have about two weeks there before Micah graduates from airborne school, we have a weekend with friends in Charleston, and then it's off to Italy May 30.
The next month is going to fly by, but it really is exciting that soon we will be at our first station. I'm ready to start the transition and Micah is ready to start figuring out what his work will look like for the next eight years. I'm sure that there will be many, many times in which I will have to remind myself that God is in control.
A couple weeks ago I realized how few times during my day that I think about the Almighty God that I serve, let alone praise him for who He is. I think about him during my quiet time and strive to be open to his direction throughout the day. And yet, somehow the awesomeness of the God I serve gets kind of lost in the shuffle. Sometimes I get so caught up in trying to figure out how to obey that I tend to lose the heart of praise.
Isaiah 55:9 says, "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts." My God is in control. Yes that should bring me comfort, but more importantly it should bring him praise. The Almighty God is in control for his glory, not for my comfort. So over the next couple months that are sure to be filled with the reminder that God is in control, I hope I will develop the habit to not only be thankful for what God does for me, but more importantly praise God for who He is regardless of me.
