Kind of a loaded question isn't it? One that I should try to answer at least once a month, publicly. It'll help me remain accountable, plus give me something to look back on when I'm feeling nostalgic.
There are so many things that God is doing in my life right now, and I'm sure there are a lot of other things His hand is in that I don't even know about.
So here goes!
No matter how bad things have gotten, or how alone I've felt, I always feel an overwhelming sense of peace when I'm feeling my worst. I have peace in knowing that even if my hand doesn't ever fully heal, and even if I'm always in this much pain, He can use this pain for His honor and His glory. He has the power to make this terrible situation better, and I have faith that he will.
Through the musical I have met and gotten to know so many wonderful people in our church. People that I am so blessed to have as part of my life now. Though I barely know most of them, I can definitely see a future of us getting closer. At a time in my life where I am craving to have more people in my life who have the same relationship I do, I now have a bunch of them :)
I'm definitely learning the value of friendship, and one of our wonderful songs from the musical has rung so true for me lately. One of the lyrics from the musical hit me pretty hard "I can promise you a love that will not end, but I won't be, can't guarantee to be the perfect friend." How true it is. I cannot and will not ever promise to be perfect, but I can give my friends a gift that is. Its given me an overwhelming desire to serve in any ways possible, and share Him as much as I can with those around me.
I am learning to trust Him. He holds everything. He knows the outcome of everything, and there's so much peace in knowing that everything WILL be ok, even when I don't always feel that way.
I have such a hunger to know more, a hunger I've never had before. I've been reading my bible more, praying more, and reflecting more on what I'm learning than I ever have. I was raised going to church, raised knowing about God, but I have never craved to know more.
Anyone wanna join me in this? write a post about what God is doing in YOUR life and link it up in my comments :)
