Chosen

I'm SO incredibly blessed to have a wonderful Bible Study group during school & I am SO missing that right now! I've been thinking about it a lot lately & cannot wait to get back to it! My prayer is that we will fill whatever place we meet with girls who are desiring to know Him & grow their relationships with Him. I long for that consistent community with the girls who usually come...but also just pray that He will bring more & more.

I think we're reading 1 Thessalonians when we start back. I could've totally made that up (or maybe God just really wants me to read it for some reason), but I decided to get a head start tonight.

One of my favorite verses comes from 1 Thessalonians 1, verse 4. I really like the Message version...It is clear to us, friends, that God not only loves you very much but also has put his hand on you for something special. In NIV, it says God has chosen us. So encouraging, especially on the days when you kind of just feel like you're floating along aimlessly (you can tell I'm starting my last year of college & still don't really know where I'm going or what I'm going to "be").

Be encouraged today. Out of everyone in the world, God picked you specifically & has a great work for you to accomplish for Him & His glory! What could be better than that?
