conclusions.

God in every situation, you just have to search a bit more sometimes.

so, at the private Christian school I attend, in my Spanish class, one part of the required Biblical integration is a weekly memory verse that you must either recite or write out depending on the week or length of the verse.

the first week of school we had a short, easy verse that is a familiar one in English. then the second week came and I wasn't so ready for this one, even though I knew it perfectly in English. each time I tried to repeat, "porque yo sé muy bien..." I would find myself saying the previous week's verse. I soon became annoyed. each attempt at, "porque yo sé muy bien," led to, "todo lo puedo..."

finally I just sat down and began thinking about the words to the verse I was supposed to memorize..."porque yo sé muy bien los planes que tengo para ustedes afirma el Señor..." (Jeremías 29:11) and even as I did my mind kept skipping back to, "todo lo puedo..." by this time I was very annoyed, but then, in an effort to calm myself, I began to think about those words themselves...

...todo lo puedo en Cristo que me fortalece...

hmm, funny, eh?

so I leave you with this note:

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. ~Philippians 4:13
