Wrappin’ Up

May 10th, 2009

     Four more days… that’s it and then finals are over! This last month has been a blur as I’ve been trying to sort out so many details… figuring out my last semester of college, finishing papers, preparing for finals and trying to find an internship for my business degree. As the reality of becoming a college graduate in December draws nearer and nearer, I’ve really been thinking about what career direction I want to go. As I talk to people, search online and pray about it, I realize what abundant opportunities God has blessed each one of us with!

 

     As, I look back on this past spring, I think it was my favorite semester at Jessup. I enjoyed the variety of my classes and the deepened relationships among the business students in my classes. When I graduated from High School, I wondered where I would attend college and I can’t help but thank God for His guidance in my life. At Jessup, I have developed relationships that will last a lifetime, have gained valuable knowledge that will assist me in the future, have been blessed with the opportunity to be on the women’s soccer team and have been given Godly wisdom that I will never forget. As a community of believes, I cherish each time we are able to worship in chapel together. As summer comes to a start, I hope that I will continue to be in His Word and be attentive to His presence in my life.  This is a prayer that holds a special place in my heart…

 

 

Fellowship of the Unashamed

 

I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit power.  The die has been cast.  I have stepped over the line.  The decision has been made.  I’m a disciple of His.  I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still.My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure.
I’m finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colourless dreams, tamed visions, worldly talking, cheap giving and awarded goals.
  I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotions, applause or popularity.  I don’t have to be right, first, tops, recognized praised, regarded or rewarded.  I now live by faith, lean on his presence, walk by his presence.  I am uplifted by prayer, and labour with power.  My face is set.  My gait is fast.  My goal is heaven.  My way is rough, my companions are few, my guide is reliable.  My mission is clear.  I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, or lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed.  I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice; hesitate in the presence of the enemy. Ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.  I won’t give up, let up or shut up until I have stayed up, stared up, prayed up, paid up, preached up for the cause of Christ.

I am a disciple of Jesus.  I must go till he comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work till he stops me.  When he comes for his own, he will have no trouble recognizing me.  My banner will be clear.

Have a wonderful summer, Jessup!
