This new year I have been excited as last year was good. But what was 2013 going to be. Well there are 5 great weddings happening, several to my close friends, 2 of my very dear friends, and I could not be more excited for them. Little did I know that would be part of it, as well as me meeting a very special man. My new boyfriend. God totally tossed a surprise into my New Year and what the new year was going to be about.
I can tell you this, I've lost control and God has the reigns in the parts of my life, whew. It's the most rewarding thing ever! Many times in my life throughout youth, college, and now adult have I felt these extreme overwhelming times with God where He overwhelms me with His love and shows me a little bit of His plan again, as He knows I'm impatient, as many of us are.
This year I have declared a year of celebration, there have been many great things so far, but there are many great things to come. As I get to celebrate great times of life, as well as continue my search for God's purpose. Hang onto Him for a job, keep searching, keeping the hope, keeping the faith. All it takes, is the faith of a mustard seed.
See this last weekend I led a trip into downtown Chicago with a group of 4 others and we went out seeking out people that God would direct us towards to bless and pray for, specifically homeless people. In many moments of acting on God's behalf, every time so far God has revealed something to the person you are ministering to, but then back to you as well. It was very well confirmed as these people facing trials of all kinds, one said all it takes is the faith of a mustard seed, my friend indeed he was right. Later on another man would confirm this same thing. Faith of a mustard seed. A small seed. A small hope. A small joy. Can produce much more than we can imagine, with God. Powerful stuff right, check it out, it's in the Bible :)
This year I am overwhelmed by the blessings of God this year, for my friends, my family, my sisters, my new boyfriend, ministry, acting on behalf of God, and using the gifts He's given to me :)
Ah at this moment in my life, God has given me purpose even in what the world might look like as failure, or a bad economy. I am jobless, but that doesn't define me. I'm able to love, to give joy to others, to give even when I don't have much. God just wants to use us where we are at, small, weak, humans, and move mountains, if only we have a small faith or hope in this dream, idea, or question God beckons us with.
I'm pleased to tell you, I'm on the job hunt, have had 3 interviews recently and will have some this week as well. Keep me in your prayers that God opens the right door, also for patience.
As I adventure on as a College Graduate, the journey has been full of trials, pain, but filled with hope, perseverance, joy, and a wonderful reward, so believe, have faith, hope, because God has something good coming your way when you least expect it.
Sincerely,
Hopeful for what God has to give me :)
