Well, summer has begun. It's almost June which completely blows my mind. I have spent the last week relaxing at home, unpacking all my stuff from college, hanging out with friends, and finally doing behind the wheel to get my license. This week makes me feel like such a bum after doing Work Crew at Rockbridge.....
I was in the AM group for Work Crew so we did breakfast and lunch. Each day started super early, anywhere between 5:30 and 7 were our times to be in the kitchen. Honestly though, I loved it. I love cooking and being in the kitchen. I loved being with my friends and listening to music while serving others in the process. For me, this was my week of service for the summer. It was such a good time just to think about my life and God and everything that happened freshman year of college. Whenever we were off work, we were either outside by the pool, watching JMU kick butt at volleyball or ultimate frisbee, or sleeping. We slept a lot. We did get to go to worship each night though which helped me feel so refreshed.
Thursday night at worship was such a God moment. My thoughts have been consumed lately with why I am so guarded and why I have so many walls built up inside of me. Well, I finally figured it out 100%. But, this did result in me breaking down. We sang this song and the lyrics say "I may be weak, but Your Spirit's strong in me. My flesh may fail, but my God You never will." I was shaking all over-the Holy Spirit was filling me. God made it clear to me that He was there in that moment. His love and grace heals me and has the ability to break down the walls of my heart. I was amazed. Thank you God for turning my sorrow into joy and saving me from the constant ache of depression, the fears, and the doubts, turning all of these things into faith and trust in God.
