I went through a period last summer much like this, I suppose it's normal. A time reflecting on who I want to be, what I want to be, who I am, and what I am now. The infamous self discovery time that hasn't happened all in one sitting in my life but in various parts of it. But more important than just who I want to be it's who God wants me to be. It's spelled out in plain language right there in this thing we call the Bible. However some things are easier said than done.
It's a place where winding and and uphill are not the greatest places to be. However, when you turn each bend and you pick up a piece of this puzzle, it is easier to push forward to see who you will be in God when you reach the top. I realize my time here is not about me, at least I don't entirely view it that way. There has been no huge crisis, no problem, nothing that has prompted this except for that little nudge. Sometimes this nudge can throw you for miles or kilometers depending on where you are in the world.
Well there just ain't no forgetting this nudge (how's that for awesome language and grammar?) I suppose I don't have an incredible story of converts and wonderful coincidences to share, but I do have this; God is working on the hearts of people here, and he's working on mine too. How great a process, how beautiful the outcome.
Thank you for your prayers and encouragement my friends. You have kept me afloat and I hope that you have said a little prayer on behalf of the people in this place. If you have thank you so much. God is good and he hears our prayers so thank you for praying them! I love you all.
All to God
I like you, Emilie Cooper. And one reason I like you is that you want to be who God created you to be - and you're willing to think that through. I'm glad I got to meet you. =)
