I guess it has been quite a while since I posted last
summer. Oops! Looking back, I realize I have gone through
quite a lot in the past school year: I completed my first half marathon; built
relationships; became a college graduate; made plenty mistakes; served on the
leadership team for a college Christian ministry; completed my senior thesis; worked
about 35 hours a week to plan a Gala; fell more in love with God; witnessed
another beautiful wedding; AND have been dating, falling in love with, and learning
what it means to serve my best friend.
God is so good.
I am currently sitting on my front porch marveling at God’s
commitment to woo and pursue us. Our
whole lives are a love story with Him as the Ultimate Pursuer. How cool is that? He loves us and reaches His hand out to us
even when we consciously choose to turn our backs to Him. Wow.
I could ramble forever about God’s love, but meeting with my
good friend Andrea is what ultimately inspired me to write a post today. Mark, my boyfriend (WHAT?!), and I met with
her because she is interested in learning more about the Bible and practical
ways to read it. We chatted and she
asked a couple questions, but really just wanted to listen to our experiences,
so we shared with her our favorite chapters, Psalm 91 and 1 John 4. Both convey God as our ultimate Protector and
Lover. It was such a neat reminder of
God’s promises for us, PLUS, it was really awesome watching Andrea catch a
little glimpse from God’s love story. She
is so inquisitive and desiring to know more.
I am super excited to watch God continue to pursue her heart!! And I pray that God uses me and Mark as
catalysts in their love story!
