It's been a long time

Well, I'm definitely not good at keeping up with this thing. It has been a long time. It's been a whole half of summer and half of the semester. To even begin to go into all that the Lord has done is not possible. But man does He blows me away! I would have to say that this semester can be summed up in GRACE. I feel like I am getting something that I don't deserve at all. That is time to be with the Lord alone. I have always been much more dependent on other people in my life, rather than on the Lord. The Lord has really shown me where I idolized them. It has been interesting because in His grace He has taken many friendships away from me and changed the dynamics of others this semester and He has allowed for me to be solely dependent on Him. It has been rough at times, I can't lie. But I am so glad to be in His compassions and mercy each day. I have learned that this life is not about me at all. It has never had anything to do with me. Therefore I must abide in Who it is about. He must be my only portion and my only cup. It is a promise that He is. I have learned in order to abide, I must live these days one at a time under His strength, in Him only. I am learning to be much with Him alone. It is not an easy lesson and sometimes it hurts, but the Lord is faithful! The Body has been an amazing thing to watch. To really understand what the Body is and live in that is difficult. The Lord has opened my eyes to the way the Body should look under His sovereignty and it is truly one of the most encouraging things that I have seen from the Lord yet. He is so gracious to give us one another to be Him to each other. What an honor to walk in that, yet also a challenge.

I am constantly learning and growing. I am blessed by Him hourly. Much love.
