Having been out in Germany for almost two months now I thought any homesickness would have passed. Well, it hasn't. However being forced to pray about things rather than address them in person has been a tremendous encouragement in my relationship with Christ. I know it's a long lesson, that of prayer, to learn the true helplessness we hold in our flesh, yet in contrast seeing the true power of God at work in every area of our lives. Although so much is on my mind, to worry about, to stress over....I know that God has everything set in place for a reason and a beautiful reason at that, and the only thing I can do is pray, knowing that there is no better place for anything than in His hands.
If it weren't for God's peace in my life I would be a wreck. My emotions are so back and forth sometimes I think I'm bi-polar; it's only by the grace of Him that I can say I love my life. I say that not to point out that my life is miserable, only that I see no point in living for anything else and if our lives were void of the grace of God we'd simply be animals spending all our time hoarding food for the winter that will never come (and believe me on this, some of us live that why in spite of knowing the truth). No matter what happens, extremely good or terribly bad, there is only one place I have ever found peace, only one place I have ever been able to stand on solid ground....that place is in Jesus Christ!
