| Oh for a thousand tounges to sing of my great Redeemers Love! Yes...if I had even a thousand it would never be enough to declare all the praise my Jesus is worth. He has pursued me...forgiven me...cleansed me...restored me...comforted me......redeemed me...strengthened me...refined me...empowered me...He has loved me and set me free by that love! I was in a pit...the prodigal who had run away from my Father. But now I'm Home! It is the sweetest place I have ever been. May you know today that you are loved and pursued by the Glorious King...and He is greater...greater far beyond all love and life you have known and all this world tries to offer to you. This is my story...this is my song...I AM FREE....LOVED...WHOLE in Jesus! | | |
| Will I ever be off this roller coaster of emotions? One minute I feel great about life and where I am and who I am and with what I have in Jesus...and in the next I feel like I am in the throws of saddness and depression all over again. Sheesh...I am having some killer times and happy times all linked together and its madness. | | |
| Well...every week in Conway does get better and better. God is continually gracious and allowing me to connect to girls in the youth group more and more. It's very fun. I had a breakfast date with 2 grils on Friday...did an event that night called "Smash It" where all the kids came and we beat up stuff like a car...paino...chairs...a tv...a wheelchair...tables...etc. I had another date with a girl on Saturday. Met 2 girls for lunch on Sunday...another for coffee that afternoon...and had a sleepover with 8th grade girls at my house Sunday night. Wow. I've been busy! But it's been so good. I love people and I love having relatioships with people for the glory of God. Praise Jesus for the many many doors He is opening for me to be able to be in the lives of precious girls in this town! | | |
| I've been feeling unusually lonely and stuck in the monotany of life once again! I'm the only youth minister at my church for awhile. The news of that was very disheartening to me. Not only do I struggle with working alone...I am now in a completely new ministry with new people with no one to help me for awhile. I must make the decision...connect with the students...plan the events. It's so hard with no one else to work along side...very lonely. I also just miss people. When I am with friends it is so precious...when I am not, I find myself very sad. My moments with them are truly few adn far between. There are no people my age here at all! I've made no new friends...lots of teenage girls...just no one to be with and talk to and play with. My hope...being with Jesus! The greatest thing I can do today and each day to overcome my lonliness and hardship and to find joy and extraordinary things is to... 1) Love God with all that's in me. 2) Love people out of that love. Oh how I need Jesus! He must come through...and I love watching Him do that in hundreds of moments in my days each and every week! He is teaching me this dependance on His strength and Presence like never before in my life! | | |
| Sometimes I wonder if I have ever had to REALLY trust Jesus fully in my life. You know in a huge God-sized, can't do anything else kind of way. I can be so self-sufficient. It's sad! Being in a place where you have no ability to change anything or fix anything or make anything happen is so hard...but so good at the same time. My only hope is to put my trust onto Jesus. To trust that He is good...that He is loving...that He has a plan...that He is in control! Isaiah 30:18 is so incredible. It says, "Blessed are all they that wait upon Him." What assurance there is to know what it is that I am trusting in. I don't have life figured out. I have no idea what is to come. I still face pains and sturggles in my days. But...if I wait for the Lord to act I can trust that He will bring blessing to me. He longs to bless me. He longs to bring good things! May I learn more and more to place my hope in that. To wait on Him for blessing. To believe He will bring it. And to not seek to live my life any longer on my own but to live it by faith and trust in Christ in me! | | |
