One Year Later

One year later and so much has not changed. I read my journal, same basic thoughts, pains, desires, and questions. Has anything happened this year? What has God been up to?

Right there is the problem. The emotions of hopelessness and loneliness that come with events like this can so overwhelm all that has happened.

- Deepened Friendships
- Met brothers and sisters in Mexico
- Met and grew with 9 other awesome students in Greensboro, NC
- 3ish non-Christians have begun to call my community their home
- I have been a part of the work of God in many in the last year
- God has sooo much more planned and so much more has happened that just this

But how quickly pain and finding one or two emotions/ desires left seemingly unmet or unresolved and seemingly ignored by our "loving" God can take away from the joy that comes from seeing all that has happened.

God thank you for your redemptive work in our lives and this world. Please help me to focus on you and the work that is happening not the things I feel you are not doing. Help me to trust you to care for those.

Life is short it seems, it was not supposed to be this way.

While we morn, thank you God that we have hope in the resurrection of your people and in You.
