What a beautiful joy this life is. Being able to live in full surrender to the Lord has been teaching me so much about who He is and who I am created to be.
These past few weeks, my kids at ministry have been teaching me a lot about what it means to walk in patience and grace in the Lord. It gets hard sometimes trying to teach english when the kids are having a bad day, but Jesus has been showing me how to see them through His eyes and not my own. He’s been showing me how to love them and connect with them despite how different we are, and how to be patient and steady even when things around me are changing. Everyone at my ministry walks in such joy, and all of the teachers have a beautiful way of pointing everything back to the Father, which has been a beautiful example to follow, for both us and the kids we’ve been teaching.
The joy that comes from serving at ministry every day radiates from all the girls on my team, and overflows onto everything around me. Pressing into that childlike joy has helped soften my heart to whatever the Lord is teaching me, so I’ve learned a lot about how to walk in the true humility Jesus lives out in the Gospels. I’ve also been digging deeper into the Word when I wake up every morning, so God has been using those moments to mold me and shape my perception of myself and my identity.
There are ups and downs in every day, but Abba always remains constant. His love is a river of living water, flowing through my veins. The more I get to know him, trust him, and surrender to him, the more I get to walk in the fullness of that love and grace he so freely gives.
This life has truly become a dance with my Father. A beautiful medley of joy and growth. A celebration of his glory and all he’s done for me.
