| yesterday was emotional.
i had class/studio 9am-3pm. then i prepped for sharing at small group and had a quiet time. then class 5-6pm. small group and prayer furnace at night.
in reflecting upon how i became a christian, i realized a bit more of God's goodness and sovereignty over my life. i began to see glimpses of how his hand has been over me and guiding the relationships i built and events that occurred. i went through a great deal of pain, but because of realizing the depth of this disparity between God's holiness and my sinful nature. at the same time, i was reminded of the fullness of his grace and how it covers all.
i do not know why God chose to give me these experiences or this story, nor do i always feel like i can bear it well. i was a mess yesterday. but God gave me the words to speak and a community to support me. he reminded me that i have already received his healing and salvation. there is reason to rejoice today for what Jesus has done on the cross. there is reason to love because he first loved me. there is reason to be grateful because God did not screw up when he made me. there is reason to be excited for what he can do in coming times, and change that he alone can produce in my family, my relationships, and my campus.
on another note, i will now be blogging at http://thesmallerjet.blogspot.com/.

anywhere, say anywhere
as long as I'm with you
For I am convinced that neither death nor life
anything, ask anything
we'll watch the world go by
neither angels nor demons
anywhere, say anywhere
neither the present nor the future
neither height nor depth
as long as I'm with you
nor anything else in all of creation,
anything, ask anything
will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our LORD.
