Unedited, stream of consciousness, five to six part tweet turned mini-blog post from earlier today:
I'm still floored by the words from Rick Warren's
sermon yesterday that
pierced my heart and a God who relentlessly pursues me and places me in
another family that cares for my sanctification, my heart, and helping
me follow and love Him more
each day of my life.
Saddleback LA is beyond an answer to prayer in our lives. I can't tell you the tears in my eyes when we found out they
were coming to LA. This last year has been one of the hardest years of my life, yet also one of the most life-changing.
Through the sorrow,
through the hardship and heartache, through the grief, and through the
moments of beauty, awe and wonder, times and seasons of joy, He has
never not been faithful. And He has never left our side.
Blown away by this God, our Father, who will stop at nothing to win our hearts.
This God who has carried me and taken me deeper than my feet could ever wander, this God who has never once left my side.
Thank you, God, for
Your faithfulness. Thank you for your unfailing, everlasting love.
