The Lord has blessed me with His affirming presence in my life. Over the past 4 months, there have been many times where I would stop and think, God You are too good to me! Of course, there were many moments of frustration, tiredness, confusion and what have you, but all I had to do was remind myself that it is a privilege to serve God. He is so present in the relationships, in the moments of silence, in the moments of chaos and it’s all about me just opening my eyes, my ears but more importantly my heart to be aware of it. He wants me to experience His intimate joy. And when I say intimate joy, I mean intimate joy. The joy becomes so personal and so timely. These moments have reminded me that my YES to mission was not just a yes to serving God in the community, but a YES to embracing God’s mission for me – for my life (see Mt. 28:19-20). My entire life, every aspect of it, has now become my mission. Praise God for an overflow of His joy 🙂
