the first week of school. longest week of life. it's hard to believe that just six days ago, the jarman 39 girls were reunited. and that just five days ago, all my best friendlies were finally here. and then just four days ago, classes started. and it's only been three days since i got to be back with the ebc youth. and only two days since our life group meeting. and yesterday, we had an awkward lunch with corey and josh in the completely packed coburn.
these events just skim the surface of what has gone on the past few days. this week has been so long. and confusing. and i'm surprised we're all still standing at the end. things that would have broken me a year ago -maybe even a month ago- now just roll off. not as if it doesn't matter, but as if it doesn't control me.
and all i can think is peace. this is God's peace. this is how it feels to be free. this is how it feels to understand that life is more than the world projects, more than we can imagine. second corinthians 3:17 says "...where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." the Lord is faithful. He has seen my pain and hardship. He has seen me struggle, and He has lifted the veil and shown me all of this mess has a reason. God is good. and even when i can't trust anyone else, i can trust that He will be faithful to His Word. my charges are dropped. my chains are destroyed. i can live in the freedom of Christ and have peace in knowing He reigns and He holds the future.
man, how blessed are we that God is God...
