1) today i shared with someone the testimony of my college career. some of you reading this might not know the details, but it still brings me to tears thinking how my God loves me so much to hold on to my heart the way he did. i haven't shared my testimony in a while and hearing myself brought me to tears in front of this younger sister. what was even crazier was that it made me realize that my story is not only precious to me, but it's precious to my Lord. that my story could be used in some convoluted way in people's lives who are going through sort of similar circumstances.
2)i've thought for a long time that i want to do ministry in the future, but today it hit me that the ministry that i'm doing now is the future. and oh what JOY it is.
3) when R came this past week, i loved talking to her. C said that when I interacted with R i reverted back to my freshman self. it's been humbling thinking through this and realizing that the ways i confided in her and wanted advice or just someone to listen or someone to take care of me or something like that could be what i am doing now. it challenges me to love more, to care more, to be more available, to serve more...but this also leads to point 4
4) this weekend i had a great time of rest. i woke up late i read the Bible. i bummed on my bed thinking. i invested little. it's crazy how you can process joy and blessings when you're not exhausted. lesson: in ministry you need times of rest.
5) i'm not married, but Say Your Name by Bethany Dillon has been on repeat. at times these days are spinning by and i am just trying to find a moment with Him.
(: superlike!!!!
