Who is this God I serve?! Every time I feel defeated and worthless and cast out, God shows up and reminds me who he is and how he deals with sinners....HE LOVES THE HELL OF THEM!! I know it's pretty in your face but that's how it happens to me. Thank you Lord for that.
The father in the prodigal son shows me something of Gods character. The son who basically threw away his inheritance, wants to go back to his father and work as a slave. Thinking his father will be angry, he comes up with a story to tell him when he returns. The best part is he didn't even need one. The father runs out in the field and receives him with open arms, no questions asked. I just don't get it. It's mind boggling really. When I stray and lose perspective; when I get crazy busy or caught up in the things of this world, God doesn't withdraw himself. God waits. He is patient. He longs for my return. He wants me back on track. It's amazing! Lord, I need you to show up everyday like you did today.
I'm so thankful for the people God has put in my life. I don't know where I'd be. Thank you Bianca for helping me through all the craziness lately, especially this month. I praise God because you just get it. Thank you for standing with me in the midst of the storm. Your willingness strengthens and encourages me.<3
Winter break is finally here! I'm so excited to see
what adventures will come. It started off great with two free tickets to "the happiest place on earth" and if I may say it was pretty *magical*.=) I praise God (wow I have so many reasons to praise Him!) that he has given us the ability to compromise and consider each other. I'm so thankful that He built us on a foundation of teamwork; it's really been that way from the beginning. I love how it showed even in the littlest of situations like deciding where and when to eat, choosing which park to go to first (we had hopper tickets!!), and which rides we would go on since time was limited. So, I'm pretty confident the big things won't stand a chance against team MB!=D I am really excited for these next few weeks! I plan to get in the Word more, make pancakes with my love, rest, and enjoy this short time off. And the fireplace!! You best believe we'll using that thing. Fireside devotions for sure!!haha.=) GOD IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME. ALL THE TIME, GOD IS GOOD.
