I'm Still Alive!

    Hello, my dear blogger friends! This is just a very quick note to say that yes, I am STILL alive! :) My life has been super busy lately, what with work and church and life.  But I am loving every minute of it, and I'm so thankful for everything that God is doing. His Faithfulness is beyond describable, and I am so amazed every day by the little ways that He shows up.  I've been thinking a lot about the song "Great is Thy Faithfulness."  Most of the song is taken from the third chapter of Lamentations, which is actually a really sad book.  But in the midst of all this tragedy, the writer pauses and says, "This I recall to mind, therefore I have hope. Through the LORD's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. 'The LORD is my portion,' says my soul, 'Therefore I hope in Him!' The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul that seeks Him." (Lamentations 3:21-26)  I look at where I am in life, and all that God has brought me through, and I echo Lamentations - "The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul that seeks Him."
    So, I am doing just that... I am waiting on my Lord.  And I am content to be there, to rest in His faithfulness; to learn how to let His Joy be my strength. Falling in love with the One Who made me, Who died to save me.  Learning to live the life that matters.  And I pray that y'all are doing the same, no matter what it looks like.


    In His Love,
