Thankfulness. If I had to choose a word to encapsulate this month, it would be thankfulness.
Thank you, Lord, because as I reflect back on this past month, I'm overwhelmed by every blessing, experience, and relationship that is nothing short of an expression of your grace.
Thank you to my ministry partners. In the words of Paul, "I thank my God every time I think about you, brothers and sisters," and it's true! Everything from serving on the Camino de Santiago to traveling to Paris is because of your partnership.
So thank you for your generosity that has given me the opportunity to travel and to serve.
Thank you for your prayers because without them I couldn't do any of this.
And thank you for celebrating the Lord's goodness with me.
My time in Ligónde stretched me and encouraged me to let the Lord use me however he sees fit. In Paris I was encouraged by time spent with my sister, and this last week of Spanish classes have grown my language skills tremendously.
Every one of these things I recognize as a gift from the Lord. So with praise on my lips, I enter into this new season of work. I'm excited to see what the Lord calls us to create and anticipating that he will continue to move in marvelous ways. So at the end of the day, all I can say is, thank you Jesus!
