Halfway there, forever to go

Back in December 2013 I was toying with the idea of moving to Philly to help launch this church. I had lived in Philly before and I knew I loved it here; but I also loved Ann Arbor. Although I was nowhere near ready to admit that I needed to make the move, I was ready to name my year and I felt that 2014 was going to require me to trust God   

Remember that law of gravity, what goes up must come down? Well the 2 years I spent in A2 were pretty smooth sailing. I felt closer to God than I ever had in my entire life and I was continually growing in my faith and character.

 I knew that there was going to be some major change in 2014 and that the only way I was going to get through alive (both spiritually and mentally) was through my trust in God. My trust that He is Good and He has good things for me. That He is Loving and full of Mercy when I fail. But here I find myself in August and I still struggle to find that trust, especially in certain areas of my life. I am praying this week that the Holy Spirit would begin to groom me of the lies I believe about myself. I know that I am the daughter of the King of Creation, I just need to believe that I am special. As I begin to grow in the trust that He created me to be special, I believe that the opportunities I will embrace will grow exponentially. I will find my hope and confidence in He who made me and sent His son to die for me. That is something I can trust in.
