One year ago…I was miserable.
I was so confused and lost…and struggling to follow
Christ the best I could.
I prayed for a community that would walk with me and could
understand my struggles.
I prayed…and I prayed…and I prayed.
Tonight I went over to a friend’s for a small dinner, and
sat around a table full of new faces. After
dinner, the rest of the night was spent watching Hitch and talking about God.
Talking about God
all night?! What community does this? Is this reality? I wondered in amazement. I sat quietly, taking in the conversation
before me. It sounded like all different
people from all different walks with so much wisdom, so many concerns, and so
much love for God.
These last few months have just brightened my life. I have never been so thankful and so
vulnerable. This has been such a great
journey—not that it’s been a great journey,
but one where I’ve grown, grown close to Him, and have grown close to
others. I can’t explain in words what it
feels like for an empty heart to be filled a little more each day…
I enjoyed every moment of tonight, and thank You, God,
for moving mountains. This is exactly
where I wanted to be, but could never find.
You are faithful, and loving, and so amazing, and I just want to praise
You! I want to honor You and all the wonderful
people You have given me! I am so full
of joy!
