THIS IS WHAT I POSTED ON TUMBLR EARLIER TODAY (TWO DIFFERENT POSTS)

in the chaos...
“…in confusion. i know you’re sovereign still. in the moment of my weakness you give me grace to do your will.”

It is absolutely breaking my heart to see so much hurt and brokenness in the world lately. I can’t really wrap my head around all of it sometimes. The bomb that detonated down the street from where my sister lives, injured a man picking up the paper today. The shootings that took life from young men involved in a lost and broken lifestyle (and I’m just talking about the ones I am personally aware of). Accidents that have caused harm to those involved and took away time forever. Natural disasters causing tragedy to tens of thousands. It’s all so heavy on my heart. I can’t even capture all of the hurt that I have seen in the past month alone.

Sometimes it’s hard to try to make sense of it all. But I feel so blessed to know that my Lord is sovereign and in control. His love and faithfulness are steadfast; endure forever. He is a just, all powerful, mighty, living, compassionate God. I thank Him so much for letting me find peace in Him and letting His truth rest on me. Because seriously, in all of this chaos of hurt and brokenness and life, I could probably lose myself… But praise God, it isn’t confusing when I am looking to Him. My heart still breaks for his people, but it’s just different when he reminds me of who I serve, and I remember the majesty and glory of my God.

Thank you Lord. Thank you so much for loving me. For what you did on the cross, what you are doing in my life and everyone around me. I am praying for your world, and that you would use me for your kingdom. Thank you giving me peace and purpose. I pray that this week I would remember to do everything for the glory of you Lord. <3

LATER

:)
just wanted to add that my date with Jesus tonight, and the content I got to go through was super convicting and encouraging. Faith is an activity and I need to exercise it. It brings me happiness to think about the opportunities of trial that I am coming to face so that I can react in the image of Christ. My Lord is good, and I am excited that I am happy about being convicted about my response to certain things in my life (if that makes any sense)

Point of this ramble: I love it when God dominates me in multiple ways and through multiple venues throughout the day.
