Today was a fairytale.
Lord, did I just use a Taylor Swift song as a reference? (for the record, I only know that song because it is on SongPop and I never, EVER, get it right.)
Seriously.
Today started with an amazing service at The Ransom. That place has forever changed the way I worship and view churches. Today, Phill said something that I will never forget. It was something to the tune of, "come on people, lets own our bitterness". It really hit me. Seriously, lets own the things we are bad at. Come right out and say them. When they are kept inside, it not only hurts you but those around you. It's so simple, but so true.
Work followed church, which was mediocre at best.
But then, I got to go to LifeLight with the love of my life. We sat at the Main Stage from about 3:30-5:30 just waiting to see our favorite band, Leeland. In the process, we heard two other great bands that led us in amazing worship. Top that off with the always amazing and worshipful Leeland and you have yourself one heck of an afternoon.
When that was said and done, we came back to USF to chill for a while and just now got finished packing Esther up to move to USF tomorrow.
That is what this rambling, probably incoherent blog post is about. Transitions in life.
Transitions in life are some of the things that can make or break us. The way we take the changes can effect the story we will tell the rest of our lives.
Some transitions are easier than others. Some are simple, yet others are as complicated as possible. A family I know recently went through the loss of their son, brother, and grandson. I can't imagine a tragedy like that and how I would react to it.
To see so many different transitions in many people's lives brings me to be in awe of our God and Creator. It sounds cliché, but seriously, God has His hand on all of this. In all of life, we can look and find God somewhere in amongst the texts, e-mails from Alex Heinert, and seemingly unbearable homework.
Stop, and look at the beautiful things in life that God has put amongst the stress. Sometimes, you have to pick them out from what seems like a hopeless situation. But don't give up! Finding evidence of God's faithfulness is something that is so beyond anything words can say.
Keep working people (ha, like I have people)
We can do this.
