But seriously, sometimes I just have to stop and look at how The Lord has been faithful to me. Even on good days, when I'm not feeling down or overwhelmed or both. Even on days when I feel empowered by my job and free because of my singleness, even then I need to have a solid handle on God's character, especially as evidenced in his dealings with me.
Tonight is one of those nights.
As I pour over the memory of some harder nights, the hopes of the future don't even compare to the unrivaled character of my God- His faithfulness to me, his compassion for me, his supremacy at all times, his incomprehensible grace and ability to suffer long, his power and might, his comforting truth, his unending goodness.
Yes, Tonight I find myself rejoicing in the quietness of refuge in a God who is bigger than my emotions, stronger than my hesitations, and altogether greater than my lack. And I post out of genuine thankfulness- for Christ enrobing me in his righteousness and then giving himself to me in all my humanity. How amazing!
I find it easier to not share the links to my blog because it pretty much takes a month or longer before I can even see the beauty in a lesson learned or a trial turned triumph or a sad heart consoled by truth, but somehow I am still grateful that there is a record- it's like taking a picture of a sunset- you know it would be better in person because the lens or what have you just doesn't do it justice but its beauty is still worthy basking in and looking forward to in coming days.
& boy! I'm definitely looking forward to being with Jesus in heaven, rid of my tear ducts and sin struggle! That shall be a most fabulous day indeed!
