As the dust settles

As the dust settles, I am noticing that I have changed. My faith is coming back. My view of God is larger. My trust in people's words has lessened. I am more cautious. But still excited. I have a new trust in God. I have seen him carry us through a very strange season.

As I have become more aware of the imperfections of humanity, I have developed a greater patience and grace for people. I have a greater sense of awe towards God because I am realizing more and more that there is so little I understand. He really is infinitely more wise and powerful than I am and truly need to continue trusting him more.

As my trust in God grows, I find myself excited about what God can do through me. I feel like I will be better at getting out of his way!

I feel a renewed hunger for the power of the Holy Spirit. I feel like our community is maturing and becoming wiser and will be able to steward gifts and authority better than in the past.

It is good. I'm glad I'm here. I believe that God is preparing us for something we can't even imagine.

Prov 11:27 "If you search for good, you will find favour, but if you search for evil, it will find you!" (NLT)
