I recently read something mother Teresa said once:
I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much!
Now my point is not that I want to compare myself to mother Teresa, but just the fact how that sentence is so true. We, as human beings, have sometimes no idea what we're capable of. Sometimes there comes a point where we think "oh, I can't do this!" or "God, that plan is too big for me, just give it to someone who can handle it.."
The fact is: God knows what we are capable of and with God we can do so much! But I sometimes just tend to forget that I am so much stronger than I thought I would be, just because God is with me; that's the only reason I can come up with!
God puts His trust in... Himself. If God would put His trust in us humans, well... do I need to finish this sentence? Human beings aren't perfect, we make mistakes, we make wrong decisions... God would lose His trust so easily if He would put His trust only in us. And that's where Jesus enters the story!! When God looks at us, He sees Christ, because we are in Christ. God puts His trust in the only perfect human being there has ever been: His son. God puts His trust in us, because He knows that we handle things when we are in Christ and when God gives us the power to do those things and through them!
Many things are happening in my life, but one thing I know for sure: God is giving me the strength to go through them and to face any attack the enemy gives me.
Monday I will be in Amsterdam for the whole week! It's called an introduction-week (I heard from someone it's called a "rush" week in America :P) and it's organised by the university I will go to. So yeah, I'm a bit nervous. I heard there will be a lot of partying and beer drinking and so on, so... I am just praying... And God won't give me anything I can't handle! But the scary thing is: I can handle a lot when God is on my side! yikes... that's gonna be a tough week :P!
Enough writing for now, Bedtime!
