God is good, there aint any doubt about that, and I love the way that he tends to move, a combination of subtlety and an over arching sense of presumed logic.
I needed a vacation and to get away from the norm, so I left Upland and my serving job at Bdubs behind and went to the mountains. Just went by myself to Colorado and Colorado springs. Its amazing how something simple as switching up your schedule allows God to intervene and get through to you in a different way that your set up set of events does not easily allow.
Well it was fantastic, chilling with the Beck family, and getting to know them even better and just enjoying what fellowship and God's beauty has in store. Just being around the mountains and seeing the blue sky and clouds forming everywhere played to my sense of peace with God.
Yet at the same time brought with it a challenge. I was feeling constantly like it was great but that my soul was longing for something that I couldnt put my finger on, and not readily sense.
But during corporate worship with 4,000 kids and adults at a youth conference worship session I was able to enjoy the penetrating of my soul. Just loving basking in the truth I was proclaiming and continuing to get a sense of diving deeper into myself to be able to give more of myself.
So I come back with a few weeks of work left until i gear up and get into soccer season again. I am pumped!!! to be coaching this fall and see what God has in store for the TU ladies soccer program. I know that God will use me in his ways while i am at Taylor.
But also I am excited to have the sense that my time at Taylor is drawing to a close, and I am starting to truly dive into the vast (almost too broad) realm of possibilities of what HE has in store for me next. I am looking into finding a place where I will be continually challenged and pushed beyond my comfort and into another level of trust with God.
I dont know what that looks like, whether its an intensive session of leadership and biblical teaching, getting into a grad school and coaching, playing/doing sports missions, or working in a church. All of these options seem to have an open door, but i know that God will glorify my choice and use it for his glory, but i am looking forward to see what challenge i take.
So that is my present state: expectancy, and humbly looking for the crazy awesome things God has in store for me!
