And several days later.... I find myself on top of the mountain of Joy that I left last week to return to comfort rather than peace...but good news! God brought me back. It's incredible really. This weekend was so good. I was blessed tremendously. Friday being a holiday was cool because although I don't normally have class on Friday...all my friends were off of school as well :) so i was able to fellowship w/ some rad brothers and be encouraged by my Lord. I had more good fellowship that night and God provided time to be real with people around me which was cool. Thank you Lord. Saturday was exciting with lots going on, a savage game of frisbee and lots of mediterranean food and laughter and dancing around. God is good...and He was glorified. Sunday is one of my favorite days because I get to go to church and listen to good teaching and be surrounded by lots and lots of Christians. It was good again. God used me to be an encouragement, ate more mediterranean food, and saw Chicken Little. so funny. and it brings me back to Monday. another good day. I love it. God is teaching me a lot right now about resting in His peace. I am learning what Joy really looks like and being reminded that it's not worth it to trade it for comfort. I am learning how to look people in the eyes and be real. I am learning how to be myself and not be embarassed. I am learning what it means to be in real fellowship when all conversation revolves around God and what He is doing...not what I am doing. I am learning how to sit and share my heart and not be afraid of rejection. I am learning that being Katie is okay because I have been redeemed in Christ. I am in the process of learning a lot of things, but it's so rad to watch God do it all! I am thankful because i have had consistent time in the Word and in prayer every day for the past three weeks...i'll be honest....it has been a long long long time since this has been true. God is reviving me. I am excited to be a part of this and to share it with others. On another note...the moon was beautiful last night, but i'm stoked for it to shrink so I can see more stars and hopefully our planet will come back. :) okay i'm out of here, but be blessed friends. God is Faithful and Good.
