God is so good, and I am so not!

This week is very exciting! Our youth building was approved by the fire marshall, which means that, at least part of the time, our students will finally get to see, explore, and enjoy what they have been waiting so long for!!! God showed up in a big way this past Sunday. Some may say that God always shows up and maybe we were the ones to finally show...maybe so. But all I know is that felt God's presence more than ever this past Sunday. The room was thick with his love, kindness, gentleness, and mercy.
I really feel like God has some big things in the works for our sweet church. Satan knows this and has been working furiously to derail all that God has to offer. This week has been filled with heartache for so many of our friends. My heart hurts for them. I also know that it is when we are weak that HE is strong!
We are so blessed to be a part of this church and the people God has here! Our church is not perfect, as none is...but our church family comes together and rallies behind one another in a way I cannot describe!
I am so frail. I have so many weaknesses. My heart hurts. But God is not frail. He is strong, and He wants to take my pain!
My prayer for anyone who may read this is that, whatever you are going through, know that God is there. He wants you to tell Him. If you need to yell, then yell! If you need to cry, then cry. He so desperately wants to be connected to you!
