I find myself often being tested and challenged these days. The more I learn and grow in my relationship with the Lord the more I feel that I am put in the position to see if I have actually learned and taken away from what was being taught to me. At the beginning of my semester at Ozark Christian College, many of my professors made it a point to teach that God will always be with with us and that no matter what, we need to make it a point to lean on Him. I heard this so many times in my life that I think it's safe to say that these lectures went in one ear and out the other. But lately I'm really seeing the importance of these lessons. Not to say now is any different then before, nothing catstrophic has happened in my life, no great loss, but I can feel God nudging me gently through little hints that things would have gone about ten times better if I had only choosen to lean on Him instead of depend on myself. Like the outcome of a conversation, or how I chose to confront an issue...
