Isn't it funny how God works?

I didn't think it would ever happen again.

But it's starting to.

Yay for the best beginning of a semester ever! =)

Weariness.

People think the Judson community is so great at caring.

Then why do people form cliques and exclude others?

Why am I here alone in incredible pain and no one notices?

How many more are there like me who feel alone in the midst of all these people?

Why are we not reaching out to each other more?

Don't get me wrong, because I love Judson. But there are still lots of problems here. People just pretend there aren't.

We pass each other and say "hey, how's it going?" without stopping to hear an answer. Or we answer "fine, good" because we know most people don't really want to hear the answer.

During these times of brokenness these past 4+ months, I couldn't do that. I had to be real.

And it was freeing.

And when I was real and open about hurting, others were real and open too.

Isn't that the way it should be in the family of Christ?

“He Maketh No Mistake”

-A. M. Overton

My Father’s way may twist and turn,

My heart may throb and ache,

But in my soul I’m glad I know,

He maketh no mistake.

My cherished plan may go astray,

My hopes may fade away,

But still I’ll trust in my Lord to lead,

For He doth know the way.

Tho’ night be dark and it may seem,

That day will never break,

I’ll pin my faith, my all in Him,

He maketh no mistake.

There’s so much now I cannot see,

My eyesight far too dim,

But come what may, I’ll simply trust

And leave it all to Him.

For by and by the mist will lift,

And plain it all He’ll make.

Through all the way, tho’ dark to me,

He made not one mistake.
