Today is the last day of April.
April has been a good month for me. I have grown in ways I cannot express. I have had nights where I was up until midnight on my knees, pouring my heart out to God. I have had days overflowing with joy and crazy love and happiness. I have had great talks with great friends about great things!! But mostly, I have had peace.
Peace amid the storm.
Crazy, right?
I don't think so.
See, my life is kind of at a turning point. In several ways.
First of all, my book is almost ready to send to a publisher. I mean, like days away. The last few steps are creeping up on me and will be done before I can blink an eye. Or two, for that matter.
Second, God has been doing some scary stuff in my life. Opening doors I never thought would open, bringing people into my life I never thought would come, changing things I never thought would change... In short, He is flipping me upside down, shaking me till my pockets empty, and setting me back up again. It's good to be rid of the baggage and trust Him with everything...but I am scared to death. He is Mighty and He is doing Miracles... in my life. Yikes. With God, anything can happen. And that is almost as scary as it is wonderful.
But it is more wonderful.
And that is why I have peace. Though all this crazy, awesome, terrifying stuff is happening to me, I know He is in control and knows what He is doing and that every little detail that He has worked out {and let me tell you, He has worked out some pretty masterful ones} are for a specific plan. Thank goodness. Otherwise I think I would go crazy.
Naw, pretty sure I am crazy. But that is beside the point.
I think.
Actually, I can't remember the point.

Anyway, I am super excited to see what May holds for me. Each new day is the start of a glorious adventure and I can't wait to get into them. Life is exciting, eh?!!?!!? Exhilarating.... that is my word. It has a funny story behind it. But it is my word and it will always be my word.
I am exhilarated.

I love the passion you have for life. It leaps off the page. You really love God.
ReplyDeleteAh, thanks so much! I appreciate it! I do. Very much. :D
DeleteOk, so apparently it DOES make a difference, so I am back to my original blog address for a few more days to give all of you time to *receive* these heads up... Then I'll change it.
