God is so good, and I am so not.

Hey everyone. Well, I just read my little sister's blog who is 17 years old and honestly I need it translated down to my level. It's kind of funny... I only REALLY understood the first 2 lines and the part about her teacher's obscene wedgy. Anyway, I think I'll call her later so she can translate her entry to me on my level:)

God is so good! I was going through a really rough time all week- questioning my faith, if it's true, if I should continue, etc. I think it was building up for a month or two and it peaked last week. I don't have a lot of time so I'll leave all of the details out. But I do want to tell you that as soon as I humbled myself in the sight of the Lord he lifted me up (James 4:10?). All I had to do was cry out to God sincerely in my heart and he restored my soul. I cryed my eyes out and prayed with my manager Gepke on Sat. I told her everything, all of my ugly dark feelings. I shamefully spoke them out into the light. We prayed and God restored me. It's strange how I felt so far from God on Sat and how today I feel so close to him. How did this happen? God showed me that I needed to humble myself before Him, and truly submit to Him again.

I encourage you, if you are doubting or questioning your faith, or if you just feel far from God, humble yourself before Him. Confess your feelings to the Father, ask Him to give you faith. Confess your thoughts and feelings to another Christian- get them out into the light, don't leave them in the basement of your soul where Satan can work in the dark. And God will lift you up.

It is so good to serve our loving Father! I love where I am right now. Love you!
