Current lessons God is teaching me:

1) He is in the details
2) He is ALWAYS faithful to His promises
3) Sunsets are one of His true masterpieces
4) He is good, all the time

Slight life update- someone special has walked into my life recently and it has been quite the journey so far. I could easily write a novel about him, how we met, how things started and the miracle of meeting someone in the middle of a global pandemic - but I will save that for another post. What I want to say now is this - God has blessed me richly and I am undeserving.

I think back to the many many days and nights I walked through life with my head full of questions: “God, where will I meet someone? Is that him? Why hasn’t he come into my life yet? Why didn’t that work out? Is he in Japan? Is he back home? How could he fit into my life? How could I fit into his? How will it all work out?”

So to sit here today, typing these words, heart full of gratitude. It is as if God has wrapped His big loving arms around me and said with His fatherly voice, “see, I told you it would all work out. I am faithful to my promises. I wanted you to trust me all those days because I was preparing you for this road you would go down. I have always loved you, always wanted the best for you and now you can walk ahead in joy.”

Now, this is not to say I have it all figured out! Because everything is so new for me and I am just beginning to see all the lessons God has in store for this someone special and I. But I will say that I feel the blessings of God, the goodness of God, the faithfulness of God and the peace of God in this new chapter of my life and that is more than I could have ever asked for or imagined.

There will be many more posts about this person to come :)

I’ll end with this quote from A Severe Mercy (by Sheldon Vanauken), one of my favorite books of all time..
