This summer has been quite eventful as far as post college life goes. I decided to bite the bullet and try going to a new church, which has been one of the most life giving decisions. All throughout college, I never found a church that I felt like I could call home, nor want to be involved in. In the short time that I have been going to the River, I really think that I want to stay here for a long time and be involved. God has also blessed me in other very tangible and deeper ways through the community that I am beginning to build at The River.
While the past year was one of the driest, uncertain, and directionless years of my adult life, it seems like my life since June has been placed on a moving train down a track. Not that all the pieces of life are falling in place, but Jesus is doing a lot of reviving and renewal in my soul and in the tangible, physical life around me. I am so grateful. I recently asked Jesus a why question to which I didn't expect much of a response. I did hear somewhat clearly, "So that you may know the fullness of my grace." Now if I were to tell you my question, that wouldn't make much sense to you as an answer, and I was very confused. But as time goes on, it's starting to make a little more sense. Though events in my life are still unfolding and are by no means completed, I'm beginning to see how this may really actually be His answer to my question. I am now just wondering exactly how much that answer will cover the circumstance in my life.
But for now, there is peace in my heart despite the unknown future that lies ahead. I am content with the knowledge and feeling of the restoration work that God is doing in my heart. And whatever happens, Jesus gets all the credit. Like for real.
