My heart is full.
There are a number of reasons an outside perspective might think so, because:
– A couple anonymous donors sacrificed money for me, and just for kind, fun things.
– a couple donors with a face have given me their time/money in support of my personal growth.
– I have a wonderful community made up of friends near and far who enjoy me,
– and I have a family who loves me.
– I know what my passions are and how they can translate into the work-force.
– I am preparing to travel around the world.
And BOY are these things so nice and good… but they aren’t why my heart is full.
My heart is full because God is doing it. God is speaking to me through His Word, through the kindness and thoughtfulness of other people, and through feelings of peace, joy, and maturation.
He is doing a good work in ME. This is sweet to me because, until 2014, ‘I had arrived where I needed to be’ already. I didn’t realize that I was resenting where I was- a vicious circle of meaninglessness.
It is amazing what God can do when I let go of trying at life my way… I haven’t mastered letting go yet, but the amazing thing is- I know I am capable of it. God is good, I am loved, I am secure in Him for all eternity, and life is beautiful because of those internal things more than any external influence.
