Tears are dripping down my face as I sit here. And for once in the last few months, they are happy tears. The kind of tears that come if you are overwhelmed with emotion. Overwhelmed with love. Overwhelmed with goodness. Overwhelmed by God.
He is so good. I am just so amazed and astonished by him right now. My life is still in complete chaotic shambles, but I am seeing his hand on it all. I am seeing as he is in the process of healing my little heart. As he is showing me my worth and value in his eyes. As he is blowing all my expectations out of the water in so many ways. As he is working in the life of a friend as she struggles with her deepest fears and doubts. As he works in the life of a friend as she learns to be vulnerable and true to herself. As he works in the life of a friend as he smacks her in the face time and time again getting her to turn back to him. I have never experienced this before in my life. Never have all of my friends and I been so open and raw about what God is doing in our lives. I love it. Even if what we have to say is not good or encouraging, we are being open. We are seeking fellowship and accountability. We are not hiding our problems or fears or struggles, but coming together as sisters encouraging and loving one another. This is what it is supposed to look like. This is what friendship is. This is what community is. I would go as far as to say this is what church is supposed to look like. A body of believers coming together, doing life together, loving one another unconditionally.
And I can't get enough of it.
