Fullness of Joy!

I have been TERRIBLE about blogging since I got back from Africa! I've got 2 entries from my journal while I was there that I'll work on posting soon, but for now I've just GOT to brag on all my amazing God is doing!

Reading over a few of my previous posts, I was in such a place of discouragement, frustration and was somewhat depressed before I left for Africa. I am happy to report that post Africa I feel nothing but joy and awe at how God is working! And not only in my life, but in the lives of literally everyone I talk to lately. God is working overtime and seems to be showing off and I'm loving every single second of it. The past few years have been a dark road where I could feel God holding my hand as we walked together, but I could not see at all where we were headed. This gets frustrating after a while, but God is so patient and faithful to those that keep their faith in Him, even when nothing seems to be going right and everything seems confusing. Obviously, part of faith is trusting our Lord even when we can't see what He's doing and trusting that He is actively working for good on our behalf and for His glory. But post Africa, God has begun to allow me to see His hand SO clearly at work. I'm not ready to share details of what I see God working on just yet, but it's very exciting and I'm continually thanking and praising my Father for His blessings and faithfulness even when I'm so undeserving. He is truly a GOOD Father and I'm delighting in how He works.

Now that I've updated on life post Africa, I promise to post on the actual trip to Africa SOON! :)

You make known to me the path of life;
in Your presence there is fullness of joy;
at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
~Psalm 16:11
