But I will say nothing has ever been more beautiful then my current view. The rain has slowly stopped and I am able to see the light of the sun peak over the mountain range I have been fighting for so long. And even if the rain starts up again, I've seen hope rise out my despair. Pastor Stovall has been preaching about Suffering Well. I can't say that in the last couple years, and in my sadness that I suffered well. Sadly it wasn't until the end that I truly felt peace, and began to understand that all I'd walked through was nothing compared to what God was trying to ready me for. My hope and my prayer is that what is facing me now, this call, this mandate I feel pressing on my heart strings will be something I walk through with joy and peace. And that Christ is in the rain, and fire along with me. What a beautiful revelation of Christ's Faithfulness, that even in the fire and even in my darkest days that his whisper was and is my hope and his love was and is my light.
I am excited about all God is doing in this next season, I just hope I'm ready and willing to recognize him, and be flexible no matter the task, no matter the journey.
Dreaming Big, and Loving God.
