(Part two cause I titled a previous post "Blessed." Apparently I need to get more creative with these things!)
Tonight, I'm feeling so blessed. I'm not sure how to articulate all the different thoughts swimming around in my head, but one word keeps surfacing. Blessed.
I just got back from a trip to Brazil with Living Bread. It was a great week of serving beside pastors who are in the trenches of ministry day in and day out. It thrilled me to think that shortly my life will be an even greater investment into this organization that encourages and supports these servants of God. Blessed.
This is my last week of work on staff at Liberty. It's a bittersweet week because I'm definitely going to miss my Liberty family and the familiarity of my days on campus. I've been there every day (with the exceptions of summers during undergrad and my student teaching semester) for almost eight years. Crazy. Looking back at my time there, I am overwhelmed with the opportunities I have been given and the people I have gotten to know. Blessed. (See, there's that word again!)
I just got home from an evening of VBS at my church. I love getting to share a few crazy moments with a crowded room full of energetic kids. I get to bounce around and act slightly insane and totally get away with it. It's often tiring, and sometimes I don't feel like it, but having a small child run up to hug my legs or catching a little one I don't know yet grin from ear to ear when I smile at them makes it all worth it. Blessed.
I keep reminding myself that I need to remember these days of immense blessing so that when dark days come and storm clouds brew, I can know that my same Savior and Lord today is my Savior and Lord through the valleys of life that will inevitably come my way. Thankful and blessed.
