September Lessons

If we’re being totally honest, this past month has been really hard for us...

We’ve encountered so many ups and downs within a crazy short amount of time. But as we’ve navigated the crazy, what we’ve been left with is peace. Not in every moment, mind you. There were definitely moments of darkness in the tunnel where we wanted to just give up moments where the hope of turning a corner and seeing the end was evasive. There were also moments where some of our long held dreams and goals came to fruition and moments of joy shared with friends. Sometimes the wild jump on the spectrum of fear and hope would happen in the same day.

For me, I have only experienced challenges and peaceful seasons predominately independently of each other. Obviously not every peaceful season was perfect nor every dark time completely dark. This month has been a learning curve for me to navigate equal amounts of ups and downs with one step.

Maybe this observation is unique to me, Whether it is or not, What I’ve walked away with is extreme comfort in the truth that even as everything around me fluctuates and is unpredictable, God is steady. I realize that that is not earth shatteringly profound to realize on a personal level that our sovereign God doesn’t change. And yet…when life is turbulent…and you get to walk with an unchanging Comforter, it IS everything. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“I love Your voice,

You have led me through the fire, in darkest night, You are close like no other. I’ve known You as a Father, I’ve known You as a Friend, I have lived in the goodness of God.

All my life, You have been faithful, All my life, You have been so, so good, With every breath that I am able, I will sing of the goodness of God” -Goodness of God (Bethel Music)
