I am in So Much Love

Life is so much fun! I am eating salami and cream cheese sandwiches and its my favorite little snack.My Surprise is getting more exciting everyday and I have the best friends in the world. How seldom do we stop to appreciate the good things in life?

This entry is for stopping. For appreciating. For expressing thanks.

I am so grateful that no pain in life is wasted. No sorrow has to remain, we are capable of healing and growing from such low points, from such difficult situations that challenge us and sometimes push our buttons.

Everyday is new, I was created in the image of God as a being that can have relationship not only with others around me, but with my Creator. And He is the only reason I can stand after a fall. He is the only reason I can improve as an individual. He created me, therefore He knows exactly the tools to use to fix my brokenness, He knows the exact process I will need to grow because He knows how I am wired...He did the wiring.

In the midst of my lack and imperfections, He loves me completely and fully. There is no part of our Relationship that I feel unsafe. He is my refuge. He is my strength, He is my love, He is my Father, He is where I know I belong. And in Him and through Him I can live.

This makes life exciting even when not-so-fun things are going on, because in those times He proves over and over He is my source of HOPE. And from that point on I can focus on the growing, I can focus on His guidance, I can focus on Him. I can trust. I can let go. I can be freed. Like I mentioned, He doesn't allow ANY pain to be wasted. Instead, He wants to use that place of brokenness or hurt, or low to reveal His grace and love and be our savior and rescue us and teach us and bring us further into the identity we have in Him. We are His children. And the love of my Father is perfect in compassion, perfect in hope, perfect in discipline, perfect in freedom, perfect in acceptance, perfect in every way.

I am so thankful He is perfect in patience with me. Each day is an opportunity to realize the depth of freedom I have in Him. To understand what it means when He says I am his kiddo. I'm his daughter. I am in so much love with Him and no matter what situations come into my life, I have a peace that surpasses all understanding. It is not my circumstances that have the power to sway my emotions and decisions and attitude. He is what is constant. He is what sustains.


Praise God.

I have such amazing friends in my life that encourage me and love me. The each are little gifts in my life. And I am more aware than ever that He knows the exact desires of my heart. In every thing. So, with that knowledge, I find myself excited to see how He guides me in each of my days, knowing that His thoughts and plans towards me are good.

Zulu in love.
