Last Post


Okay, the time has come, this is my last post on a regular basis, for now at least. I don't know when I'll next be able to post anything, maybe next weekend, maybe sooner, maybe not. If you would like to keep in touch with me, I welcome your emails at michellejohnston[at]gmail[dott]com. :)

Tomorrow morning I leave for Ontario and will be there for the months of June, July, and August at least. I am working as the "Program Administrator" at a small Christian camp near Toronto.

The year so far has already been full of many accomplishments (doing all my blogging surveys and starting Dialog:Breaking the Bubble, finishing my MRRP, passing my oral comprehensive exit interview, graduating from Briercrest Biblical Seminary, and passing my driver's liscence test, and a whole lot of other little fun things have come to pass as well. :)

After August, I really have no idea what the future holds. I'll be looking for somewhere to live and a job as well, and in what order I'm not sure of.

Despite this uncertainty though, I do know one thing for sure: that out there in the heavens I have a Father who is watching out for me and He knows what is in store. He's got it all planned out and taken care of perfectly. Horray for that.

"O LORD , you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD .

You hem me in-behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.

If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me
were written in your book before one of them came to be.

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you."

-Psalm 139: 1-18
