I love growing pains, and I fear complacency. It is my constant prayer that I never reach a point of complacency in my life. This season of Lent has stretched me. I am so thankful that through the challenges of this season that so much in me has been renewed. Instead of giving up chocolate, I gave up human approval for Lent. Hindsight tells me that chocolate would have been much easier ☺, but in sacrificing this God has taught me more than I could have imagined…maybe more for a later blog…
Today I was reminded that there is great strength in sitting still. It is hard to just be. It is hard to wait. But, I have learned that my plans pale in comparison to the intricately beautiful vision God has for my life.He blesses in ways we could never imagine. What a beautiful freedom to know that life doesn’t come from our striving; but that all of life is provided to us by God. I am letting grace absolutely drown me. It is shaking my soul and raising me up. God is good.
