Today I found myself surrounded by wonderful friends. I had lunch with Steve, which was incredible. Just having casual conversation and sharing what God has been teaching us. Then I went home with Tim where we met Joanna and then had smoothies, went for a delightful walk, ate dinner, and talked for hours! I LOVED it all so much and I seriously feel so refreshed and encouraged by them all. How can it be that God loves me so much to give me such wonderful people to cross paths with at this point in my life? I feel so loved.
I also cannot help but wish that maybe one day I can be missionaries with the Hanlons. I would love that. Lord, please direct, show us where to go and what to do. If it is Your will, I would love to be missionaries with Tim & Joanna. Help us to strive after You one day at a time and trust in Your perfect plan. Lord have Your way and use Your willing servants!
I have been so down lately about being single and trying to understand what that means and what the Bible says about it rather than what the world and my Christian community is telling me. All I can figure out is that I must be satisfied in God alone and seek after Him. I cannot cling to the hope that maybe one day a man will come into my life, so I guess I am learning to know what it looks like to be content with where God has me now and to not hold onto that hope, but hope in Him! I feel like I'm definitely wrestling with God on this one, and I still don't quite understand it all. Just being with Steve, Tim & Joanna today has really helped and encouraged me as I fight through this with Jesus. I know He is right there with me and He is using others in my life to teach me what I need to know.
I love you Lord. Thanks for so clearly showing Your love to me today!
