God is faithful.

This past weekend I attended a retreat with the college + ministry at my church. The theme was REFRESH which was absolutely what happened. Spring Break was a whirlwind (a very enjoyable whirlwind) and the retreat was the perfect ending to the week. We spent some time reflecting on the times in our life when we truly saw God's blessings as He lead us through trying times.

I'm by nature a worrier. Towards the end of college I became consumed with worry. What was next? I had gotten into several grad schools but really wanted to teach. Who was going to hire a fresh graduate with no teaching experience? I spent the whole summer applying to schools, but had zero luck.

Now, about 9 months later I can look back and see that the job I have now is indeed the answer to my many prayers, but the coolest part of it is how I can look back to the summer after I graduated from high school and see the chain of events that led me to this place. It would take a long time to tell you the whole story and all the people involved but I can see the direct path, those connected dots, that led me right here to Houston.

Part of me wishes I had known about this plan so that I wouldn't have wasted so much time worrying about it, but I have grown SO much because of this experience. God is good. He is faithful. He knows my future. Not only do I have a cool story of God's faithfulness, but this experience has radically changed my relationship with Him.
