So I'm relaxing and meditating on an amazing weekend where I saw God show up.
I'm in awe of God's love for me and for how awesome He is. I tend to stuggle with post trip blues, so I'm feeling a little down because the trip felt so short. Sometimes it can be so weird coming home to a quiet house instead of the 250 faces you become accustomed to seeing, but all things must come to an end I suppose. It was so great to see how the youth and leaders were pushed to think, experience and discover God. Life becomes so busy that a planned weekend that is set aside to spend time with God and to learn more about who He is, can be just what we need sometimes.
I'm learning that maybe it's time to start acting. I always feel so torn between wondering if God really has me where He wants me or if fear is holding me back from something greater that He might have in store. Maybe I need to stop waiting for details to fall into place. I'm young, I'm single, and I am more than able and capable to do big things with my God. I think sometimes I desire the settling down part so much that it might blind me from what else there could be.
So this is my prayer (also notice my first two songs on my playlist are new!):
"So take me as You find me
All my fears & failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender (I surrender)
Savior
He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever
Author of Salvation
He rose & conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave"

My God is great and big, and can perform miracles. He can do things even more abundantly amazing than I could ever imagine. My God can bring me life to the full. My God can help use me to find a set of keys for a friend under quite a few inches of snow and lots of ground to cover. My God is amazing and I am just so thankful that He shows up, and that He loves me. That He understands me when I feel alone and anxious, that He can take my burdens and pain, and promise to help me through it. My God can take away all of the anxiety I feel, and make me feel like a new creation. My God can do ALL things, My God is ALL things. I just praise Him for all He is, all He has done, and All He will do.
