God has truly blessed me. This is a season where God has made me completely dependent on Him. Problems have to be met with prayer. Fears have to be conquered by faith (in God and who He is). Troubles and trials have to be met with a spiritual eye. Everything that God has been to me—have been a source of profound inspiration and encouragement as I navigate the uncertainties and disturbances of life. I am learning that I do not need to understand everything while simultaneously coping with the fact that unexplainable circumstances are something that my humanness desires to make sense of. 

This season is one where I HAVE to stay connected to God, the Vine, at all costs as I am pushed out of my comfort zone and into a new realm of life—certain to come with ups and downs, triumphs and tragedies, blessings and consequence. Through it ALL, God remains FAITHFUL and this truth will continue to be the thread that frames my mind. This truth doesn’t exclude me from pain, persecution, or problems but it does remind me that God’s given me a purpose—to experience, to fulfill, and to share with those I come in contact with. Let’s all continue to carry that which God has allowed and graciously entrusted unto us.
