Being Alone

Today being alone isn't so painful as it use to be. The quietness of the morning with my Bible; for once, I am content.

Over the last few months, God has shown Himself as a powerful presence in my life. Despite many difficult days, God has allowed me to rekindle old friendships, bloom new friendships, laugh and cry with people totally unexpected. I've experienced the true community and family of the Church, both in my own local body and abroad. I've received love from people whom I would not have even imagined. SO thankful today for having an heavenly Father who is truly compassionate.

I wrote this a few months back in my darker moments:

How do I this on my own? How am I going to keep going? Thankfully, in the midst of this all, God will be the one who will carry me. He will carry me through healing, carry me through my boards coming up, carry me through Becca's wedding, carry me through applications and interviews the next few months. When you realize the true necessity of Christ and place all of your plans, aspirations to Him, it's relieving, the burden is less, and you can actually taste joy.

Indeed, God did carry me through all. And here I am, I am fill with joy and gratitude to God for His strength and power. God, the creator and maker of the universe, His voice so powerful, His presence making our knees collapse, His holiness, His righteousness - we cannot even fathom, nor can we approach. Yet, God who loved us first sent His son, Jesus Christ, to give us the ultimate gift - of salvation, communion with the Father for eternity. By the blood of Jesus Christ, we can come to our Father, as children... and He listens, comforts, heals.

"You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore." (Psalm 16:11)
