So, my goal to blog more often this summer has obviously not come to fruition. However, I am determined to not give up on this project.
Anyway, as the summer is coming to a close, the Lord has been showing me some pretty awesome things about my life. For example, I have a wonderful supportive family. The summer is always a great opportunity for me to spend more time with my family. It's during all the increased family bonding time that I begin to truly realize how blessed I am.
Before summer began, my mom approached me with the idea that it might be fun to do a Women's Bible Study. I took that idea and ran with it. I picked out a book, started talking to friends and family about it, and overall got extremely excited about the idea. Once I started working again this summer, I knew that we just needed to get this Bible Study started if we were really gonna do it. At first, I was a little disappointed because the number of the group ended up being only three people total.
At week one of Bible Study, it was just my mom, my sister-in-law Brie, and myself. As I said, the number was a little disappointing. However, it is amazing how the Lord orchestrates the things in your life to be exactly what they are meant to be. This little group of woman ended up being one of the largest blessings I had all summer. It not only helped me grow in the Lord, it also helped all three of us to grow in trust and love for one another. The Lord has truly been moving in it.
Ultimately, I'm sharing this because I've been learning that things rarely happen the way we expect them to. Thankfully, that is the case because the Lord has a greater, more meaningful plan in store than what we can imagine with our little brains.
As I start thinking of returning to school, I'm both encouraged and excited by the idea that the Lord has more in store for me than I can ever ask for, or imagine.
May you be as encouraged by that thought as I was, and take a step of faith to trust that the Lord's got you covered.
I mean, if He doesn't, who really does?
