The Progress of Understanding Sovereignty

"One week! One week! One week!"

This is what has been going through my mind all day today. In one week from now, my girlfriend will be here in MS and then in one week from Thursday, I will be making my move to NY. I get so excited at just the thought - I can't wait!

Lately, as I think more and more about this move and how my life may change in it, I realize how my life has been changing for some time. My life is full of change. In fact my life is change.

God is sovereign when it comes to change. Changes - whether good or bad - ultimately create what is in the here and now.

I am in awe of how God has shaped my life; and with the understanding that changes have brought me here, thus far, I am left to wonder then that if even the smallest most unnoticeable change were not to occur, how radically different would my life be? Would I have gone to Thailand if my family had never moved to Mississippi? Would I be moving to New York if my sister had never fallen in love? Would I believe in God if I had remained homeschooled? Would I even be alive if I had never liked music?

There is evident complexity in God's sovereignty. And still, it goes much deeper than I could ever comprehend.

Jesus loves me. I know that; and I have known that since I was four. But now, in this moment, at this time, I am beginning to understand more what that means and what that looks like. What's exciting, is that this understanding has been progressing, is progressing, and will continue to progress to allow me to fall in love with Jesus so much more.
