Lent thoughts

Hello everyone.

Today was my first day back at University as a second year student. I moved into my flat on Wednesday last week and I have to admit it was slightly daunting settling back into again. I struggled for a bit with whether I was in the right place with my life and whether I was do the right thing before God. But after talking with a few important and special people I feel much more at peace. That is what I would like to talk about in this blog. I feel better and at peace with my life now because I was reassured about God’s ultimate control and master plan. We do not need to worry so much because God already has a plan for each and every one of us. The best we can do is listen and follow His almighty guidance. “I say this because I know what I am planning for you,” says the Lord. “I have good plans for you, not plans to hurt you. I will give you hope and a good future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

During your World Youth Day preparations this month and this Lent season, I would just like to encourage you to listen to God for guidance and peace of mind, because He simply knows better than we do.

God Bless, and good luck,

Sarah


NB. I would also like to mention that I made a World Youth Day bebo page. Check it out at: http://www.bebo.com/WYDSYDNEY2008 If nothing else it is incredible to see the number of people adding themselves as friends. I have also found it amazing to talk to them individually because they all come from different countries and have different stories to tell about their journeys’ so far.
