...so content...

when i moved to miamisburg in july, i spent months feeling like i had just been blindly floating (sometimes sinking) through life without much purpose at all. with practically no good friends around and without a church family or one relative, i struggled with God's plan and purpose for me. my life was so empty. sometimes, i was so lonely i felt like i couldn't breathe.

but God was definitely working.

i reconnected and began to grow close to someone who had been an acquaintance in college. she is now a dear and precious friend whom God has used to encourage me in my faith. i started going to church with her and her husband.

and He continued working.

i joined an inductive Bible study at that church that completely changed the way i read the Word. as a result of the multitudes of things i've learned, i am more in love with my Savior than ever and i crave His Truth. i joined a community group. tomorrow is only our second meeting, but it is abundantly clear that it was put together by God.

now i know that God was working all along.

i have dear friends that i can't imagine life without. my calendar is full of coffee dates and meetings with other people who are in love with Jesus. i have renewed purpose. i am being trained for women's Bible study ministry at my new church home. i have had countless opportunities to be Jesus to my students. God has fulfilled my every need.

my life is overflowing. and i have never felt more at peace. even in ohio ;0).

Book Recommendation...

I just finished reading The Shack. I highly recommend it. It's a book to read with a discerning heart, but there are so many thought-provoking ideas about God and the trinity presented. I finished it this morning, and I've been processing it all day.

Go out and read it.
