I am learning so much right now…I feel like a sponge. You know how sometimes in your Christian walk, you’re content and you feel semi-close to God, but you don’t really feel like you’re moving forward? You just feel like you’ve plateaued? I know that I’ve felt that way many, many times. This is an exciting time for me right now, because I don’t feel plateaued. Every day I’m growing closer to God and learning more about what He was for me. That doesn’t mean it’s easy. On the contrary, the Holy Spirit has convicted me more in the past few weeks than He has in a long time. I’ve come face to face with a lot of hard things. That’s why I’m growing. I feel like God is just chipping away the callouses on my heart in order to prepare me for Berlin. I really am so thankful.
Also, I’d just like to say how ready I am to be in Berlin. I feel like it’s already my home. It’s so obvious to me that Berlin is exactly where God wants me. I’ve never even been to the place, and I have a love for Berlin like I’ve never had for any other city. It’s really kind of weird actually. How can I feel so connected to a place I’ve never been and to people I’ve never met? It’s because God has placed this love in my heart. Praise the Lord!
I want to share another song with you. There have been a lot of songs that have really ministered to me lately; this is one of them. The words of the song are so incredible…probably because pretty much all the lyrics are straight from Scripture. Please listen to the words and be encouraged!!!
"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."-Hebrews 4:15-16
