i just want to take a moment today to praise God.
as many of you know, i was in India this time last year when my friend was hit by a train.
miraculously, he survived, though he lost his right leg.
some days it seems like just yesterday... other days, it feels like years & years -- i feel about 5 years older than i was a year ago. things like that have a way of growing you up.
God has been so stinkin' faithful in these last 12 months.
especially to david, but also to everyone that was with me in India.
this process is not over yet. i know i am still learning, growing, healing.
some days i still ask God what the heck He wants to do through this.
some days i still wonder if i will ever feel normal again, if i will always battle these new fears.
BUT...
i can definitely tell you that even though this has been a hard year -- probably the hardest year of my life so far -- it's been the richest. yep. the richest.
i've learned in a new way that following Jesus is worth it, because He is worthy.
my faith has been tested this year, & some days i really questioned whether i really wanted to do this or not... follow jesus.
but in this way, i can say it & mean it: following Jesus is worth it.
He is a faithful God.
i can say it because i've experienced his faithfulness in the darkest of times.
He is a good God,
sovereign over all,
Immanuel (God with us),
full of love & compassion,
a healer of hearts,
the God of life.
& He is worthy of praise.
hallelujah.
