Wait.

I'm pretty sure this song was meant for me.

Everlasting God-Chris Tomlin
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord (repeat)

Our God, You reign forever
Our hope, our Strong Deliverer

You are the everlasting God
The everlasting God
You do not faint You won't grow weary

You're the defender of the weak
You comfort those in need
You lift us up on wings like eagles

How hard is it when God tells us to wait? It's almost like a 4-letter word to Christians.
But sometimes, God asks us to wait. and that's what we should do. We grow, we learn, and we pray. And when the promise is fulfilled, it's that much sweeter, because we know what we went through while we were waiting.
³More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, ⁴and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, ⁵and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. (Romans 5:3-5)

Absolute Cute-ness

Do not fear, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, and gather you from the west. I will say to the north, 'GIVE THEM UP!' and to the south, 'Do not hold them back'. Bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the ends of the earth. -Isaiah 43:5-6

Meet my baby brothers, Drew and Zeke. We're in the middle of being gathered from the west so they can be brought from the east. :-)
God is so faithful!

New-ness

I didn't like my other blog.
It didn't seem very Jesus-glorifying.
I've changed (a lot) in the past year. A WHOLE lot.
And I'm going on a mission trip all summer.
WHOA.
Life is getting SO very different for me. I'm excited to see where God's going to take me on this road.
So mostly, I set this up so I could keep everyone updated on what's going on over the summer. But y'all get some super amazing insight into my lovely little brain. You've been warned. :-)
