This is real life!
I’m not gonna lie. Ecuador hasn’t been easy. From not feeling the best physically over this past month (hello, multiple hospital visits), to feeling at a slump at times when it comes to ministry and growth in my relationship with the Lord, this country has been a hard one so far.
The word He’s given me for this next season is “vessel” and He’s showing me what that word means for me and my identity every single day. I am a vessel. A broken piece of clay made whole in the hands of the Father. My broken pieces have been put back together with His love and hope and He’s using every piece to carry that to pour onto others. He doesn’t need me to be his vessel, but He WANTS me to because of how crazy much He LOVES me. Now that’s love. That’s grace. No matter how broken I feel in one season, He is mending me and using my brokenness as a testimony for my next season.
This is just a reminder that even though life isn’t always perfect, Jesus is. Even when things get hard, I know I’m not alone in whatever I’m walking through and neither are you. That battle is already over. It is finished & I’m finding so much joy and hope in that today. Some days feel broken, but I have so much trust in the Father that he is using these trials, to make me stronger for the next ones I may face.

“There’s another in the fire
Standing next to me
I’ll count the joy in every battle
Because I know that’s where you’ll be”
