This morning I was in my accounting class and my teacher showed us a verse before we began. Galatians 6:9-10.

Both verses are amazing but I want to highlight just this one part “let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season, we will reap”

I have heard this verse a billion times before, but today it hit differently. For the past few weeks, being bombarded with homework and the realization of all the things I need to know before I even THINK about starting my career, I have contemplated how easy it would be to forget about it all and do something I’m naturally good at and doesn’t require so much work.

But here’s the catch. I know -don’t ask how, because I don’t know that- but I know that God has orchestrated my life so specifically so that by the age of 19, I am here…in west palm, studying Christian Community Development in hopes to give hope & healing to the impoverished one day.

The place in which I struggle the most, is somehow the most peaceful place I can be. Not the location. The place in my life. And that right there is what I think we need to hold onto hope for.

This is a hard season of my life, but God has blessed me with so many opportunities to pour His love into others and really lean into Him.

So yes. It’s very tough, but it’s one of the greatest blessings. And if this is where God led me…if you are where God led you…let me encourage you with Galatians 6:9-10.

Whatever you are doing, if it is for the good work God planned for you, do not grow weary. The world may throw all it has at you, but believe me, our God is bigger.
