Sometimes it is so hard to put into words how we feel and to be able to walk away with the positives when the negatives seem to be greater. You were able to do that beautifully – thank you for reminding us, me.
Take care

I have been forgetting that He said, “so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it” (Is. 55:11). His Word, in us, does not fail (though our hearts can falter). This is the hope that we can cling to…that the things He calls us to accomplish…well…HE will accomplish them (sometimes in spite of us and sometimes through us).

So you are in a season of preparation and laying a firm foundation…that is such a good place to be!! You can lay a strong and sturdy foundation. You can revel in this job because God only lays a foundation where He plans to build something greater afterward. You are doing a Gospel work when you lay a foundation and form connections and encourage others (Matthew 7:24-25) and that has eternal significance.

I am so glad I met you and that we connected. In that brief moment you were like a ray of sunshine. Still are. Can’t wait to read your stories :)

Finally getting to hug you in person was a highlight of my year…and I can’t wait until we have a chance to sit down and heart-spill for hours. I’m so thankful for you! (((BIG HUGS))) (And I owe you a Vox! Soon!!!) :)

I can’t wait to see. :) Thanks for being here…blessings and Happy New Year!
