about that blogging thing...
Been a while.
Lots of stuff has been happening lately. God's definitely been working, I can feel it. Do you ever feel like God is trying to teach you something, but you're just not sure what it is? All you know is that it's something big because you wouldn't be feeling the way you're feeling if it wasn't God. Hm... does that make sense?
I was in Schaumburg this weekend with my sisters, my mom, and my nephew. We went shopping. Good times with the girls. (And Landon) I've definitely been learning the importance of family lately. No matter how hard I fall or what kind of questions I have, they're there. Waiting for me to come home and spill my guts about a hard class or a friend who's let me down. I thank God for a family who loves the Lord!
Know what song I've recently come to love? "Great is Thy Faithfulness". Powerful words that speak straight to your heart til the message goes to your head that He really, really is faithful. Regardless of how I feel, my God is faithful. When I don't feel His presence, God is faithful. When all I see in the world around me is sin and darkness, my God is faithful. When I'm crawling through the valley or jumping along the mountaintops, my God is faithful.
Do you ever feel like you expect someone to meet you halfway in a relationship? You expect to give and take from a relationship, right? You don't want to be giving the whole time and you know you shouldn't be taking the whole time either. Well, my God loves me. And I feel like I'm just at the brink of the beginning of falling in love with Him. He's loved me before I even knew what love was (not that I really know much now). He's gone the entire way the whole time. He knows I'll never be able to love Him or serve Him in return to the amount He really deserves. But He sincerely and patiently asks me to try. At least to the very best of my ability and with my whole heart. He's been teaching me about what it really means to fall in love with Him and serve Him without reservation. No fear; just simple trust.
Praise God for all He has done, is doing, and will continue to do in the future! How matchless are His ways!
What an Honor it is to Serve my King
