As I sit here on the last few hours of school, my emotions are on a roller coaster ride. I am very excited to be going home to Chip, Jake and the ranch, but I am very sad to have to say good-bye to some very special friends, co-workers and students.
I looked to see what the Bible says about emotions. Proverbs 15:18 says that "A hot-tempered man (woman) stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger quiets contention." Well, since I am not angry that does not fit this situation, but I am thankful that I was honored to work with a group of professionals that were not hot-tempered and therefore we got along very well.
The next verse that came up was Romans 8:28: "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose."
Those who have read my book Life on the Ranch, know that my/our desire is for the ranch to be a blessing to many. Many quotes have been sent to me this month on faith and taking that first step. I am trying to take it in/with faith.
Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with your whole heart and lean not unto your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths."
I have claimed that verse for years so I know that He has been there for me in the past and will continue with me through the future.
