In The Spirit of Joy
Over the past week I have been trying to type out that perfect post, and have realized, that is just not going to happen. I have deleted over 5 rough drafts. This post is out of the bottom of my heart, I hope you all can appreciate that.
Over the past week I have been doing a lot of reflecting, praying, reading, being alone. And one thing that I have realized is that I am beginning to see Gods hand at work in your lives and in my own life. I have reflected back to the beginning of our journey together and where we all are now.
I have read about your journeys home, and have prayed for all those things that you’ve asked. What I have been blown away by is how God’s hand has moved in each one of your lives through our prayers for each other. It has simply, blown me away!
Right now as I am writing this, I am in a spirit of complete joy for what He is doing in your lives. To most of you, you may not understand, but at the beginning of the year up until after our Mount. Washington trip I could not understand why I could not rejoice with you. I sat for hours in in the lodge wondering why I could not, it frustrated me so much! It was not until after the missions trip that I began to realize why I could not. My heart was not breaking for you. How could my heart rejoice if it does not break for you?
I apologize that this happened so late. I wish that I could go back in time and understand how much this would have changed how much I loved you all. But I cannot, and I trust God for what has He has made happened.
But I sit here, now separated by thousands of kilometers from some of you, and am rejoicing with you! Rejoicing because God is so good! I hope to talk with each of you about your journeys as they are happening now. I want to pray with you, break with you and rejoice with you.
I believe this is what I was supposed to say. I hope it makes sense and you will take me up on what I have said. I hope to continue to hear about your journeys, the ups the downs and the in-betweens.
God Bless!
