As I packed up my apartment and divvied up my belongings between a storage unit and my car, I headed out on this road trip with very little expectation- I just didn't really know what else to do. But God has revealed more of Himself (and more of myself) to me than I could have imagined when I began to drive south on I-35 from Minneapolis. So tonight as I settle into one of my final destinations, I prayerfully reflect on God's greatness and love, and seek God for impossible blessings and provisions. I know even less about what life will be like at the end of this trip, but have much deeper faith and peace than when I left, and I am overcome with gratitude.
As I left, I prayed that Psalm 116:7 would be the anthem of this trip.
Return, O my soul, to your rest;for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.
Indeed He has. Psalm 73:23-26 has become my response.
Nevertheless, I am continually with you;
you hold my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will receive me to glory.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
BUT GOD is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Amen, praise God! Look forward to seeing you soon and getting a BIG HUG from you, Dawn. Such a joy to hear of God's faithfulness and unfailing love to you over the last weeks.
