God Will Ne'er Let You Down

Got a call from Moody Bible Institute. The music department doesn't want me for the Spring of 2010. I was devastated and ended up crying in Mr. H's office... I hate to cry especially in front of people I have a huge amount of respect for, but the moment of hopelessness was too much.

This week has been of the single most disappointing weeks of my life. Nothing going right… I guess we all have days and weeks that don’t really go our way. Even though I am mostly over the disappointment I still feel a little pang of rejection… over everything though this week’s experience has taught me that God has a plan, and it’s timing is undeniably not the same as my time table. I must be patient even if patience is not easy. Everything happens for a reason… God knows better than I do.

I keep going back to the Bible, and putting all my faith in what God is doing. When I was first learning about the Bible and God I was told the road would not be easy, and is more treacherous and narrow than the secular road. I was shown that first hand this week.

The biggest moral of my week is this… people, places, and things (basically all nouns except one) will let you down, but GOD will never ever let you down.

In my voice lesson I was preparing a hymn for the possible Moody audition called “Great Is Thy Faithfulness”, and it seems super appropriate considering the circumstances. Too bad I won’t get to perform it.

Mr. Hassevoort, Stephanie, Karen, and Bobula made me feel a lot better, and for that I am very grateful.

Much love
Sarah
