Life is a collection of moments. My collection has grown considerably within the last month. Some moments were definitely easier than others physically, emotionally and mentally.
"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand."
-Isaiah 41:10
My inner being has been shaked and my "self" mindset broken down. When, and it happened quite quickly, my own strength failed God stepped in and reminded me that there is no need to be afraid. He is, was and always will be in complete control. He wants to use me, broken pieces and all, to glorify His great name. This journey has had its highs and lows but I am not relying on my own strength anymore. God now constructs the barriers in my life just like He breaks the ones down that is not from Him.
He's not an "I told you so" kind of God. He's a "come here, welcome home, I love you" kind of God.
I am excited about the rest of the year and expectant of what God is going to do.
