i am not my own
Why hello there lovlies!! So much has been going on, so much to tell about and only so much computer battery left!! I shall try my best to hit the high points for now and give more details in subsequent posts.
Last week I was on my retreat. . .amazing. . .simply amazing. Coming back to everyday life was quite difficult. I'm glad I have one more week with no class or clinics to continue to spend larger quantities of time with Jesus and to just be. I just continually felt how good and faithful and present in my life God is.
I realized that no matter what my external circumstances look like, no matter what my life holds or doesn't hold, God is still good and He is still faithful. If nothing in my life goes "right" and I never receive the greatest desires of my heart that is okay because God is still good. This may sound like an obvious statement, but it just really seemed to hit home to me during this last week.
Another theme that was repeated during my time with Him was that I need to be living in absolute surrender to Him every day. My life is not my own. I was bought with a price, and I desire to honor Him with all of my being because He, the Creator of all the universe, bought me with His sinless life and sacrificial death.
Computer is close to dying. . .must wrap up. . .
but before I go one more item of note. A couple months ago I met a lady who writes a blog about real life issues with raising girls (and being a girl) in today's world. To make a long story short, she graciously asked me if I would write a guest blog post for her blog about friendships. I said yes, and that will be coming soon on her blog which you can find here: 5 Things.
That's all for now. . .grace and peace.
