In My Life

Jump to Comments

You ever have a day where you just reflect on the now?  Well today was that day for me and here is what I came up with:  I absolutely love the life God has blessed me with.  All of it.  Every little part, even the ugly ones that God has allowed, have been used to bring Him glory.

I love the family God has given me.  I wasn’t raised in a Christian home, and my home life was often times pretty jacked up…but it was mine.  It was the family God gave me, and it has made me who I am today…I’ve dealt with it, asked God to use it to bless others and He has.

I love the friends God has blessed me with.  I have the absolute best friends in the world.  From those I still keep in touch with from 20+ years back, to those formed just in the past few months, these are the people God has given me…and they are treasures to me.  And many are like family; especially those I have here in Houston.  I love them so much.

I love my job.  I have been equipped, shaped, and called to teach.  God uses me everyday to pour into the lives of young people as well as my colleagues.  This absolutely blows my mind, but I no longer question it, I just roll with it and thank Him for it.

I love my ministry.  God uses me in the lives of those younger than me as well as peers.  I work daily with college students in some capacity, and soon will be teaching adults again on Sunday mornings.  I also work along side men and women who have a heart for missions on the Sagemont Missions team.  My calling to missions has never changed, and God gives me the opportunity to be on mission with Him everyday of my life.  I spend my summers in foreign countries, and in the meantime, educate and train people about the importance of sharing your faith and how to do it….

I love that I am single.  I look back and realize that God has given me all this to do as a single person…had I been married, I would still doing Kingdom work and it would still be worthwhile, but it wouldn’t look like this. I love the freedom He has blessed me with.  The freedom to GO when He says GO, and in the meantime, have the best husband in the world while I wait for my earthly one…Jesus.

I could go on and on…my passion for music, books, the beach, baseball, my cat, writing, ice cream, thinking……but I can’t leave you with the impression that I have no problems and have it “all together”.  That is the farthest thing from the truth.  I hurt. I get down.  I need.  I get discouraged and frustrated.  I have problems just like everyone else.  The difference is that I am learning how to view those problems and sufferings as blessings and see how I can glorify God in the middle of it all.  Life really is all about God and how we can continue to get smaller and smaller while He gets bigger and bigger.

Thanks for reading.

Peace and Love.
