I thouroughly enjoy a great sized dose of John Mayer, tea, and authentic ramen. My favourite colour is grey and I wish I had enough money to pull off the fashion sense that goes on in my head. I graduated high school in 2008 and haven't touched any type of formal education since, not because I don't think it's important; I do. My palms get sweaty when God is speaking to me and I feel more comfortable writing than talking half the time.
But that's not the point. The point is I'm here because one day, while doing missionary work in Mexico, God reminded me that there is much more to see and that He wants to be the one to show it to me.
I did that to break the ice. Not that you needed me to, but I needed me to. I could sit and talk with you for hours about the things that God has graciously revealed to me about life and love and even longer about the things I still need to learn. I know that I will always be in the middle of learning though…as long as I keep my heart in the position to. And lately God has been teaching me a thing or two about His grace.
His word says "God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8. While I was doing wrong, God was showing His grace. That amazes me! It's like saying to a person who's continually hitting you in the face "I love you" in between punches. God speaks to me, provides for me, comforts me even when I still have work to be done in my heart.
All of that to say, that's what last week highlighted for me. I worked on my laziness and got some fundraiser planning done ahead of time and forced myself to look at the positive in several situations. I couldn't have done those things without God's grace and to make it even better God not only provided a large sum of needs through a fundraising tea we threw but He also showed me the bright side in those said situations I was dreading.
God is spectacular.
