God is always working

Time doesn't heal wounds; God heals wounds. Let Him take your hurt, your fear, and watch Him transform your most profound pain into your life's purpose. I have been in a lot of pain lately, emotional pain. I never would have imagined my life to be like this even five years ago. It is the most fulfilling and yet heart-wrenching part of my life so far. God put on my heart to love the people of Honduras, and I miss them so much. Photos from there, messages from people there, just tug at my heart strings. It is hard though, to help people see your heart for missions when you are so young. It is difficult to explain to your non-believing relatives the joy and the promise that comes from God working in your life. I met an incredible young man who is now my boyfriend. He lives in a different country from me. I just want to give him a hug when he is feeling down, to encourage him face to face, but I can't right now. He is a wonderful example of God and I see him fighting to be the best he can be every single day of his life.. And truly I am amazed. God is going to do wonderful, miraculous things through him. My life is a testimony. I have been in the lonely place of depression and anxiety, battling my fears and worries through each and every day. I have been low, and high, and I am finally seeing the other side. The part where God took a hold of my heart and threw away my worries into the abyss of the past. He used my past to help those struggling in the present, to help change their perspective on the future. I am in the teaching place. God is stretching me, changing me, transforming me. He is showing me how to have His peace in my heart even when my life feels totally out of control. He is showing me the power of patience, and of waiting for God to act when He wants to. I am learning that even when I feel called to a part of the world, I still need to keep an open heart to going wherever and whenever God wants me to go. It's a hard journey. It's never been easy. But I wouldn't change it. Not for the world. GOD IS SO GOOD ALL THE TIME!! GRACIAS YESHUA!
