“But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, "It is a ghost!" and they cried out in fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying,
"Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid."”
Matthew 14:26-27 ESV
This past year has been a journey. Outside of the broad political and medical spectrum, God has revealed more and more of himself to me.
I am so so THANKFUL for what the Lord has taught me in this past year! It has been a journey and I am so incredibly excited for all that he is going to do next! So many prayers have been answered in unimaginable ways and he continues to remind me of His sovereignty and my temporary status on this earth.
It has not been a revolutionary book, nor a specific song, worship album, artist, church, preacher, friends or family. In October of 2020, God quite literally whacked me in the head with a two by four and revealed many deeply rooted wounds that had been festering in my heart for a long time. He revealed the idolization that I had placed every relationship and area of service that I was involved in. I was an absolute hopeless mess.
I have given into the paralyzing lies of fear for years. Everyday I have asked God to remind me of His goodness, to remember his faithfulness and simply give thanks for who He is! Approaching the father in prayer, you don’t have to have all your ducks in a row. He has complete control of every single piece of your life no matter how hopeless, how downtrodden your soul is, he is life and life to the fullest. In Him is fullness of Joy. In him is fullness of Justice. In Him is fullness of peace, glory, life, faith, hope and love. In everything is his fullness.
I am thankful for all that God has brought me through and all that he will do but first and foremost, I am so incredibly thankful for who my Heavenly Father is. He is worthy of every ounce of praise and adoration. He is worthy and worth every ounce of surrender. Living a life of surrender to the one who reigns true, now and forever I will rest only in you my Jesus.
A way to remember and honor the Lords goodness, is to remember. A year ago, I began a 9 chapter autobiography as an assignment for school. Yes he journey isn’t over, it is just the beginning. Who I was when I was writing in and out of class, it was a processing platform for me. I have chosen to share this project with you all little by little in hopes that God’s glory may be revealed. It is imperfect, I am simply an imperfect and broken woman pursuing an omnipotent, perfect and omnipresent God.
May Christ’s words in Matthew ring in your hearts and minds today,
"Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid."”
Matthew 14:26-27 ESV
