That being said, here comes a blog post!
A week ago now, I moved back to mom and Wayne's and Seth moved to a friend's. (I miss him already.) A week.. wow, it went by so fast and there was so much packed into it. It wasn't until today that I had time to unpack anything at all. I thought I was going to have more time but didn't - but at least I got some of my clothes hung up! I can at least get to my closet a little easier now.
I always say that I would be bored if my life was easy and that I would probably go insane because I wouldn't know what to do... lol, I still stand by that - as crazy as life has continued to get lately, I'm just more and more grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ. He gives my life - all the headaches and heart breaks - hope and purpose. Purpose.. I like that.
This week just keeps me focused on Him even more. I'm so thankful to have heard from the Father while at Passion, that He has me in a state of preparation right now - knowing that through everything that has been going on lately has given me so much peace. I really feel so connected to Him these past few days that I'm starting to understand exactly how it is completely possible to rejoice while going through trials. "Be prepared," is what has been on my brain lately.
Rejoicing through the trials - It's an honor to be on mission, carrying the name of Jesus with my life.
Trials teach me to trust Christ, to give Him the control, to stay surrendered to Him.
Trials help me praise Him for every breath and understand that He has a purpose for each one of them.
Trials build character in me as a follower of Christ, as a woman, as a friend, as a leader.
Trials make me stronger and rely on Him to be strong when I am not.
Trials test my ability to use the gifts that the Father has given me.
Trials give me confidence in Him as my Lord that He will come through, nothing can stop Him.
Trials provide me more experience with the hard things in life and different ways to handle them with Christ.
Trials prepare me for the Lord's will for my life, my ministry.. my purpose.
Again, I stand by it when I say that I'd be bored if my life was easy and there weren't any trials.. I'm falling more and more in love with the Father. I want everything He has planned for me and I don't want Him to hold back. I'm thinking that He has designed me for hard things.
So my family is falling apart, broken, and dysfunctional - I love them more because of the Father. I've had to move yet again - It's a blessing, really, that I even have a home. I've had absolutely no luck in finding a job - I'm trusting in HIS plan for my life and that includes today, tomorrow, and every day after that. But really, all in all... this portion of my life is a walk in the park compared to things that I've been through before.
My life is only a disaster when I'm trying to be the one in control. When I let the Lord reign over my life, I'm right (perfectly) where I need to be. What's better than that?!
