Unbelievable!

“Look at the nations and watch- and be utterly amazed.
For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.”
The last post I wrote was nearly two years ago. I have been grieving, slaying giants, raising champions, and growing in faith. After so much time has passed, I questioned restarting the blog for many reasons. None of them are valid, so here I am.
Amazing things are happening in the midst of trial and change, and I am learning to trust in God more and more in the process.
God is love. No matter what I am experiencing, I am choosing to believe that God loves me. I believe that this is foundational for the rest of my experience. I am filtering everything through God’s love for me.
“See what great love the Father has LAVISHED on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!...”
Through challenge and change, I have asked God many questions and he has answered me with robust expressions of love, grace, and hope. I have felt known and seen by my creator. I have been loved in a way that can only be experienced through Jesus Christ.
“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. Therefore, rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them!”
I am speaking God’s truth through my experience. I have a voice. My story is important. I share so that you are reminded that you have a voice, and your story is important. Our story is our testimony. And that is, in part, how we overcome!
“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
I want God to be glorified in and through my life. I am experiencing heaven here on earth with increasing measures of faith. I am grateful!
I pray that this encourages you!
My life plan was pretty simple. I wanted to obtain my degrees, marry, have children, watch them grow, and travel to the ends of the earth. My marriage was ended, abruptly, by a terminal illness.
