Before I start, I was only planning to write on this blog about once a month BUT since I have a lot to say now and I will have tons to say after this weekend I am just going to have to write twice, so I'm sorry but you'll get over it... ;)
13 days into the new year and I've already had so much happen. Some good, some bad, some I thought were bad but turned out to be a blessing. Funny how things work out like that, right? That just seems to be how God works. In the words of Priscilla Shirer (who has recently become one of my favorite speakers!) "God is predictable in His character but not predictable in His activity. So expect the unexpected!" A good majority of my short life I have struggled with loneliness. That's all I have ever wanted is just a good man who loves God and loves me. Except, God has had other plans for me so far. And recently, I've learned that I do not need any person to make me happy, people mess up, they make mistakes. All I need is God. And He is all I will ever need. Yes, it hurts to be lonely but I'm not really lonely. I have angels in the form of friends. The most beautiful angels you can imagine. And this weekend I am so honored to be serving God with them and showing young girls that all they need is Jesus. Because, you know what I just love about Him? He takes me as I am. He stands there the entire time, not moving, not changing, with His arms open waiting for us to run back to Him. He doesn't care about the deceitful thoughts that clouded our minds earlier today. He doesn't care about that thing we shouldn't have done last week. All He cares about is that our old, broken, worn out hearts that just can't bare to beat another second, are healed. Because that's how much He loves us. And I am so thankful to serve a God that loves me despite the things I've done, because I know I don't deserve it. And that's what I hope these girls find out this weekend. I'm so excited to see God move! But I know that He is going to do more than we could ever expect for these girls. And I know He will do the exact same thing in your life. He will meet you where you are. God bless each of you! :)
