Day 4 of being thankful.
Today, I was blown away by God's generosity to me in the church that he put me in. As I have been at Summit for so long, it is easy to forget that not every church is like this. Not every pastor presents the gospel week after week. Its a gift to be reminded to rely fully on God's grace and not on my own ability to change or be holy.
Yesterday, I was talking with a friend in school of ed about how stressed we get thinking about student teaching and how overwhelming it can be to think about the future and what being a teacher is actually going to require. There are days when I am completely overwhelmed and have no idea how I am going to do this. I have no idea of how to be a teacher, much less teach in Hindi.
Today, I was reminded that I am the daughter of a king. not only that, but I am royalty, I am a queen. I can have confidence in Christ that I can do all that I have been called to do and I can come BOLDLY before God and ask for the things that I need. I can come before God and tell him that I can't do these things, because on my own, there is no way that I can. But I can ask him for his help, and I can have confidence that he will hear me and will answer my prayers.
I am the beloved daughter of the king and creator of the universe.
That blew me away this morning.
I am so thankful to be in a church that preaches truth, that keeps me focused on the gospel, and always directs us to respond in worship.
I am thankful that we have such talented worship leaders, who direct our praise, not to them or their abilities, but always to God.
And I am thankful that I get to serve the people of Summit and get to be a part of making it possible for other people to experience God like I get to.
I really love my church.
