"Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades."

Holy cow. I am positive that my heart has not been this full in at least two years.

I am so incredibly amazed at the way the Lord blesses His people! I don't know what is it, but I have just felt God's presence around me and my friends in SUCH an abundance these past couple days that it is positively inexplainable...

To give a little background, for the past few months, I've been really doubting different aspects of my faith. Not my faith as a whole [although, doubting in my faith, even in small ways can be considered doubting completely], but nooks and crannies of it that I just have felt like have been prayed about and prayed about some more with no answers and no peace. But my great friend Danielle came and visited this week, and I don't know what happened, but God in His perfect timing just answered so many of my prayers. I truly haven't felt this close to the Lord's arms in an incredibly long time. I am just in absolute awe of how He puts situations, people, and answers to prayer in our lives at JUST the right time. In HIS perfect timing. I truly can't believe I ever doubted Him..! I suppose it's because I'm human, but I just am so overwhelmed by the way it feels to be so close to God's heart and will for my life.

Good Friday and Easter were huge eye-openers for me. Danielle, Kat and I watched The Passion of the Christ on Good Friday after the service we went to, and I'd never seen it before. I absolutely wept through the entire movie. I found myself saying "Stop!" aloud so, so many times... Seeing, rather than just reading out of my bible or hearing it spoken, what they did to my precious Jesus... It was just an absolutely horrifying, yet humbling experience. More than anything though, that movie made me desire so much more to share the love of Christ with the people around me who don't know Him; My mom, my dad, my Grandma, my brother... What would they think if they saw what Jesus went through to prove His love for them? If they could not only hear or read, but see the sacrifice God made for them so that they may have a relationship with our perfect Lord... What a thought...

I just pray that one day God provides the perfect moment, circumstance and time for me to fully share His will and story with them... That I could be a light for Him so that they may experience the same love and closeness that I feel to His heart. And I trust that in HIS timing, these situations will arise.
