The new students are here. It has been an intense week. The students are amazing individuals. I am remembering back to my first week of DTS...begging God to hold me together as my life took on new shape, trying to find how I fit in this new world and how my new world fit in me.
I find myself back in Colossians this week, "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together." (1:15-17)
I am reminded that He is big enough to hold all these lovely students together, to hold my heart, to hold this school and all the dreams He has for us. He is Holy, and we can trust Him.
"I pray for an idea and a way I cannot see.
It's too heavy to carry and impossible to leave."

About Me

- Beth
- Pismo Beach, CA, United States
- I'm a midwest girl living in California, trying to find a way to change the world. My blog title "Raindrops in the Ocean" comes from the Sara Groves song "The Long Defeat". In my travels I have seen some of the darkest evil imaginable and some of the most stunning beauty as God ransoms the captive soul. I am left with hope, and the simple prayer, "God, use my life."
