It Depends

Sometimes I think that if I work harder or try harder or study harder, then perhaps I might be able to change the outcome of something, or even dictate the outcome of something. That I can control what happens.

But I am reminded through Romans 9:16 that, "It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy."

I hope that I keep this verse in mind as I finish the rest of this semester, as well as the rest of senior year.
