streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise

God is so good.
There are so many reasons why, but the one evoking that statement right now is the fact that He can take a situation that is seemingly dismal, and redeem it for His glory. Hallelujah.
Its hard to put into words all the things that God is doing in me and around me. He is making character changes in me, He is opening my eyes, He is proving Himself more and more faithful each day, He is continually showing me grace, He is proving the need to rely on Him to be my everything, He is giving me revelations of His promises, He catches me when I fall, He pushes me but it's never more than I can handle, He is speaking, He is holding me in His arms when I can no longer stand, He is giving me His eyes, heart, and arms for His children, He is leading me down the path laid out for me through brilliant sunshine and in the darkest of nights...He is showing me how much He really is LOVE, in the purest, truest, deepest, most innocent, redeeming, holy, glorious, and honest way.
I mean, God is incredible. The experiences He has held my hand through these past weeks alone are such a testament to why He is so amazing. He especially has shown me lately that people usually disappoint, but God is ALWAYS and FOREVER FAITHFUL and He will never disappoint you. It sounds more harsh than I mean it to. Because it's not really about the flaws of the human character, but rather a testament to how good God is.
The combination of my experiences lately and my classes have pushed me to study more, learn more, soak in more, glean as much as I can about God. I want to seek Him with all I've got, love Him with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength. And through the process of feeding my own soul, I want to serve my heart out, feeding those who cannot feed themselves.
Thank you for all the prayers! They have more impact than you know.
I miss you all so much!
Have a blessed week!
