Goodness, a month ago almost I posted that I would update soon, so I guess this is my “soon”….
Joy. People keep asking how life is, how I am doing and the word that comes to mind is joyous. God is so good to such an undeserving servant, but praise be to Him for not giving up on me but instead lifting me continuously from my wicked desires and failures. I have seen and understood a little more the extent of the graces of the Father like never before in this past year. Life is never perfect and things are not always to my liking. Plans fail and hurts and pains happen. People are sick, school can be hard, and jobs can cause chaos to the mix. Monies can be low and accidents occur. Love outside of the Father is not always unconditional and heartache is real. Temptations sometimes win, my words are not always pure, and my life does not always reflect much of Christ. BUT. No matter what is going on or what has happened, I know I can trust in a God that has already prepared a way for me. Grace and mercy are His. I will never be without a way or a plan when I lean on His understanding and follow His call and will. I do not have to worry about my tomorrow because I know the One that is already holding it, the One that has already marked it out with me in mind. Be encouraged brothers and sisters because we serve a mighty God that loves us more than we can wrap our minds around. Trust Him to carry you, He sticks to His promises! That step of faith that you have been debating, JUMP in, He promises to catch you. Go for it! If you do know Him, oh what joy you are missing! I could type you a crazy long post on who He is but I think this will show you. This never gets old. If you have more questions after watching this, get in touch and I would love to share with you who the Savior, Jesus Christ, is to me and to you!!
As far as life and where I am heading….
Short and sweet: Two weeks from today I will be headed to Nicaragua with the youth of West Ridge Church!!! So expectant for this trip! And its official friends….In May I will be moving up to Andrews, North Carolina to work at Snowbird Wilderness Camp (go check out their site) as a counselor. I cannot put into words my excitement for this opportunity. I hope to be blogging to update as God works in and through me at SWO this summer!!
Thats all I have for now! Keep praying for me as I continue in praying for many of you! Go, and serve the Lord your God will all of your heart, your mind, and your soul!
To see the kingdom come,
B
