It’s been a while.
Hey friends,
I’m still alive. Just.Â
This past half a year has been insane!
Day 257
The seminars have been a huge eye-opener for me, and it's given me a new perspective on the person of God (and in relation to myself). {Considering Psa. 90, Psa. 8, Gen. 3:1-13, Eph. 4:17-19} I am not a good person - I am not worthy nor deserving of salvation, and there is nothing I can do to earn it. As humans, our natural state of being is hostility towards God. We are flawed beings, but God chose to reconcile us to Himself, anyway, through Jesus - in an act of insane grace. We are all mere specks of dust, and to dust we shall return - and yet, God gives us dominion over His creation. If the Sun was the size of a beach ball, then Earth would be around the size of a marble. And on that marble would be us puny human beings. Actual specks of dust. It is not as if we give ants the time of day! Who are we, that God should care for us? In light of that, isn't it ridiculous for me to try and be in control of everything? It is silly, pointless, futile. How great is our God. How majestic is His name in all the earth!
Day 256
It's such a novelty waking up before the world, watching the cogs of sleepy society begin to turn as the sky fills with light. Hard conversations were had today, and uncomfortable truths revealed. God convicted me of my distrust and pride - at the root of my anxiety is sin. I had allowed it to fester, unaware, for too long. It feels like He has cut me open and removed a tumour, which I should be rejoicing about, though it hurts. It's easy enough to pray, 'LORD, please make me holy', but another thing to live it out. I'm grateful for brothers and sisters who don't stand by idly and watch me dig my grave, but who are looking out for me, and willing to have those difficult conversations when necessary. Â Â I've never had to function on two hours' sleep before, but God is constantly reminding me of Philippians 4:13 - with Him, nothing is impossible! One thing that struck me today in Strand groups: Prayer is essential in reading the Bible, as it is God who grants wisdom, and allows us to understand His Word. His Word is powerful, and is able to change hearts. It is not merely a book -Â His Word speaks for itself.Â
Day 254
Today was a battle in every sense - a groggy early morning, still under-slept and overworked. A crazy long shift, and a series of unpredictable events which had my control freak self on the verge of a meltdown. A test of patience and a handful of 'fruit-loops'. A burgeoning to-do list, and drooping eyelids. Commando crawling along struggle street today. I'm still alive, still kind of standing. Not by my own strength, but by God's grace. And by His grace I will endure.
In the end, gravity wins. We have been in a tug-of-war for as long as I can remember, and now finally, I have caved under Your Mighty Hand. In the end, gravity always wins and we end up collapsing into one another like a worn out star; this fight has taken it’s toll on the brightness I used to so easily emit. Light years have easily slipped through my fingers, Time spent casually sliding through the days, a vacuum of space between what You destined and what I chose, Between what You desired and what was chosen for me. The death stage of this sinking, seething, stellar star has found it’s beginning. What a beautiful beginning it was- The black hole consumed, it radiated darkness. We could not find our way through this exhausted escape. It was a whirlwind, a path I found myself lost a trillion times over. This burdened black hole brought me to my knees one evening when I could no longer handle the agony of a life with no light. It pushed me to You, To You. You placed a simple finger on me, and I exploded. This eruptive, explosive event formed me into a supernova, Where you allowed all my flawed, apathetic pieces to fly into ceaseless space, only to bring me together once more, A sudden brightening I have never known before. Perhaps there was a purpose to the seemingly senseless black hole that ate away the sunlight from our sunken eyes. For it brought me to broken blackness, and now I have accepted what it is to know Stellar Brightness, what it is to contract, spin, and die to myself. Like a simple atom, Sometimes what we think is dense, full and bursting of life is an empty disappointment. Now you have set me free to roam the galaxies, to wonder at all the knowledge of the many worlds I am discovering through Your heart. In the end, gravity wins, and I have fallen. I have collapsed into myself, only to be found new; brighter than ever before.

My dad left for work, and then came back to leave me the other car to drive and took his car instead. #thankful
Day 253
Thankful for another day, and for the kind of full body exertion that leaves its mark of soreness for the following days. Contrary to my pervious suspicions, I think it's turning out to be a strange month - a customer tried to set me up with her son today! #retaillyf.
While I absolutely believe each and every one of us was placed on this earth for a purpose, I wonder how narrow that purpose might really be. It used to be my greatest fear that I would live outside of God’s will, or somehow miss my calling in life. I now realize that our purpose in life is to love as Christ loved us. To live in community and lift one another up. To work toward justice, peace and God’s redemptive purposes. To usher in the Kingdom of God here on earth. It’s as easy and as difficult as that. God’s will is not limited to finding ourselves in the correct vocation or career, but rather living out our faith in all areas of life.

Day 252
I'm thankful for proper catchups with my "foetus friend" after getting in touch almost a year ago. I'm thankful that things are back to normal with my teacher, and that unfortunate incident is in the past. I'm thankful for dinner with the churchies, and for the time to share about what we've learned, and ways that we've been encouraged this past year. I'm thankful that God answers prayer instantly, and He provides for our every need - sometimes in unexpected ways. I'm thankful for the incredible, unfathomable way that God orchestrates things. Â
Best rims ever.
Day 251
It's been a funny kind of day - I was served by the girl whom I served at work the other day, and she remembered me! #retaillyf :DÂ I'm thankful for a chill kind of day, and for an enjoyable evening spent with good company. I'm thankful for friends, and for God's blessings so clearly demonstrated in a dear sister's life. I'm thankful that it didn't pour, and that I wasn't caught in the rain like the drowned rat I was yesterday. I'm thankful for catchups with old friends, and the opportunity to chat with people I don't usually talk to. For the first time in a long while my heart feels full; I think I'll sleep well tonight. Feeling #blessed.
I don’t think writers realize that “strong female character” means “well written female character” and not “female character who punches stuff and shoots stuff”

{ R a d i c a l } "There is no such thing as 'Radical Christianity' - Christianity by its very nature is radical." - Mike Gore Considering what it means to live radically and to 'take up one's cross daily' in obedience.
Day 249
Today was a good day - but I still feel ill at ease, and have no idea why. Be still, my restless soul.

Day 248
There are so many structural changes to our youth group this coming year, it's certainly going to take some getting used to. I'm praying that God will work powerfully through this new program, and that we'll see growth in ourselves and in the youth. I'm encouraged that God still chooses to use us to do His work, even with all our weaknesses and shortcomings.Â
