The Year Of Silence

I began this blog nearly a year ago, with the intention of sharing my Seminary journey, ministry journey and reflections on scripture and my daily experience of God's grace and mercy. Things happen and the blog was put on the back burner. (it's possible the stove was not even in the house)  So. What has happened in a year? 

My children are a year older. 

So are my husband and I! 

The hubs and I celebrated another year of marriage. Thank you God, for this marriage and this man! 

The baby started walking. Running is probably a better term.

I finished my first year of Seminary. 

I was invited to contribute to Bethel's blog, which has been fun and rewarding. (check it out here and here!)

Did I mention I made it through a year of Seminary? :) 

I have seen God's awesome work in so many kids I work with. 

I went on a mission trip to Arizona with some amazing youth and adults. 

I have been reminded of what it means to cling desperately to God's promises. 

That last one is important. There were a lot of struggles in the past year. Personal struggles, health struggles, work struggles. People talk about clinging to Christ, but for a long time, my clinging had been a bit more of a pinky swear. I'm ashamed to admit that, but I am grateful for this year-long journey of returning the grasp. I don't believe God gives us struggles "on purpose." But I do think these times can be incredibly rich. I was reminded this year of the one who gives hope when we have none.

So here I am, back to blog again. It's nearing my 10 year anniversary of my Starry Night (check out my testimony). I continue to give thanks to this God that never lets go, never leaves me to walk alone, and reminds me, daily, of his infinite love. I give thanks to him for this year of a reminder that in the midst of the muck, the God I gave my life to 10 years ago continues to fill me with awe! Praise God!
