God is SO good!!

Seriously, we deserve nothing...every good thing, every reason to smile, wouldn't exist if it wasn't for His generous, merciful blessings.

So many things to be happy about...

~ the sound of a thunderstorm
~ Life Center miracles

~ supportive & productive coworkers

~ renewed confidence
~ familiar faces
~ whispers to my heart from His Spirit
~ and, also, sunsets :)

"...You make level the way of the righteous. In the path of Your judgments, O Lord, we wait for You...my soul yearns for You in the night, my spirit earnestly seeks You." {isaiah26:7-9} 


Sometimes, I feel like life is just FULL of ups and downs - there are days when you just absolutely soar...and then other days when everything seems kinda sketchy, y'know? Well, He smooths out those ups and downs. He makes the way level...

The trick, then, comes in the waiting for level ground to return when stuff is crazy. But! I've realized, that even if the answers to all my questions and a detailed roadmap of my life were written out on a blackboard, it would be the right answers but the wrong person, cuz God uses the waiting, the (sometimes forced) trusting, to change somebody, and that's the person who's ready to handle the plans He has for them as they're revealed.

Gosh, when I think of it that way, I'm just so grateful that He gives a chance to wait! Maybe y'all already thought of that, buut, dang...it's a bit of a revelation for me.

He. is. faithful. <3
