God's sovereign Plan

Yesterday started out as an exciting adventure that God has has been directing since the beginning of time. I was headed back to Ecola Bible School. This is the season in my life where I am learning of God's sovereign control and power He has shown us, and how always, always, always, His deciding factor is one that is for the best possible outcome. Yesterday when I arrived at school I was informed by my sister in Christ, Taylor Grant, that our dear friend Joscelyn had been in a car accident. Of course we prayed afterwards with the mindset being that if we prayed God would solve all of our problems, and Jos would be healed of all pain and the world would be set back into motion as we were all comfortable with and desiring. However God's plan was set in motion when the words "in the beginning" came to fruition and He had a different plan. We as the body of Christ didn't "lose" a sister, but the Kingdom gained one. I have been meditating on this the last day and feeling at a loss for words, but asking myself what good could come by such a young women losing her life to something as stupid as a car accident. I am not God and I do not know His plans, but I am assured that Joscelyn is in a place I long to be. She's probably basking in the light of God with her coconut oil and Aloe, doing nothing but worshiping God with her beautiful melodic voice. I pray over her, and her family. The people that she effected in this world is a great number and she isn't finished. She is moving in hearts and I know she is on my mind so much that I feel so blessed to have been able to work with her for 2 summers at camp. I would have loved to know her so much more than I did, but I will continue to talk to Jesus and Jos, because I believe she can hear us. 

I am realizing that Joscelyn is so blessed to have heard the Good News of God from her family and friends, that this is something God desires us to do; Go share the Good News with others, raise families that glorify Him, and after they accept Christ be sure to have them move in other peoples hearts. Joscelyn was a disciple of God in all aspects of her life, I can ponder all the good things about her for hours, days, months, years; and I will! Rest in worship, peace, and an unfailing God, Jos! I will see you when I arrive at the gates. 

I have learned so much about reliance upon our father just in the last day of being back at Ecola that I cannot comprehend how much more I will consume in the next month. Please be keeping Taylor Grant, and Michael Zdenek, who are here at Ecola away from their families and friends, in your prayers as well as the cook family and other friends.

Joy and Peace in Him,
