release party

[vibrant]

after a semester of hard work, the literary magazine i've been overseeing as editor-in-chief is being released tomorrow evening at the local literary pub -- but no one else on the committee can make it, i've yet to see a general invite from the communications director directed to all english students, there are schedule conflicts, and the actual copy of the magazine i want to present has yet to arrive.

um, it's all in God's hands, that i know. i also know that this is a lesson in trust. i can either feel overwhelmed at the level of trust that i need to be confident that God will pull this off, or i can be thankful that He's placing me in such a precarious position that all i can do is trust him.

i'm not about to go halfway, harbouring a bit of trust and untrust, because the last time i did, i got the magazine (trust won there - 'it's gonna happen') but it was printed wrong (untrust won there - 'it's not gonna happen'). it's as though He was teasing me: you couldn't trust me fully, you didn't ask me fully, so i won't give you fully. i was laughing as i expressed my displeasure with the shipment to the marketing director, who probably couldn't reconcile the seriousness of my words with the humour i evidently felt.

anyway... i'm not dwelling on the situation, i'm placed the issue at His feet, and now feel compelled to bring it before you, requesting that you could pray with me, for me.

thanks.

I will hold you up to the Lord during a Holy Hour today and pray that everything works out.

Sure thing! God bless you in your work, and I pray everything works out for His glory!

for you as you place your trust in the Lord

Good attitude Vibrant! God is sure to reward your faith that He is working all things together for good according to His purpose, for those who love Him, for those who are The Called! (Romans 8:28) Nothing eternally bad can happen to someone who waits on the Lord.

update: it didn't happen. and i can now see a couple reasons why.

first, the total on the invoice needs to be sorted out. i probably would've fainted if i had found out the current cost when i picked up the shipment.

second, the hassle to bring it to the release party wouldn't have been worth it since there wasn't enough people to release it to.

i was still sad hence http://christianforums.ca/t98024, but when i walked out of my apartment, i saw that the sky had become a dramatic canopy of stars and colours, which just made me stop and know that the Lord is God.
