Que sera, sera

It's finals week. Two tests down. Two more to go. Two papers to write, and an interview to give. Three days from now I'll be chillaxing in the wings of the Sabbath.
To tell you the truth I'm scared to death of my Spanish test tomorrow. There's so much I know and then there's a grand void of things I just don't know... The question is no longer about whether I will jump or not, now I'm wondering if I'll sink or swim. Nobody told me what would be on my test. I couldn't help but flip out a little bit to God this afternoon. I was doing my best to write conversation. I started to cry when I realized that I could read the language but was having trouble forming correct syntax on my own. Twas the straw that broke the camel's back, I guess. Before I stepped away from my work and took a break I opened my Bible. I'm claiming this passage here and now. So que sera, sera. From here on out whatever will be will be. I will not cry or complain because it's not so much about sinking or swimming, it's more about the assurance that I have a loving savior who is Lord of every element and every law... even those binding together the cosmos of Spanish. haha....
Psalms 105:7-
He's God, our God, in charge of the whole earth. And he remembers, remembers his Covenant for a thousand generations he's been as good as his word. It's the Covenant he made with Abraham, the same oath he swore to Isaac, the every statute he established with Jacob, the eternal Covenant with Israel, Namely, "I give you the land. Canaan is your hill-country inheritance." When they didn't count for much, a mere handful, and strangers at that, Wandering from country to country, drifting from pillar to post, He permitted no one to abuse them. He told kings to keep their hands off: "Don't you dare lay a hand on my anointed, don't hurt a hair on the heads of my prophets."
My heart thrives with this message because it is meant for me as well. If it is in his book I claim it as a promise for my own life. So even if God has to bless me with the gift of tongues for two hours tomorrow morning, I have faith in passing that test. Because He is God, and I am His Crystal.
