I know its been an EXTREME amount of time since I last posted something (atleast I feel like it has haha). I wanted to take the opportunity to catch you up on everything going on in my life :)
If you read "Caught In A Den of Lions" you know that life got TOUGH... really tough. But I knew that God had something planned for me to come out of the toughness. The past 4 months have possibly been the GREATEST learning experience of my life.
As I wrote I lost my car and my apartment within a few short days... And as I said I was going to I remained peaceful through the whole experience. I knew that I obviously couldn't trust in myself anymore... I had done that for WAYYYY too long and it got me nowhere. And left me with nothing to my name...
Since I decided to trust God my life took a 180...
I now live somewhere RENT FREE, and I have a WONDERFUL, safe, dependable car that I got for a ridiculously low price (by the GRACE of God).
But God didn't stop there... :)
Oh, not in the least bit.
I was offered a better place to work and now do what I LOOOOOOVE.
I got ENGAGED to the man of my dreams!
The church that Adam interned at this summer offered him the youth pastor position at their campus in Winchester. Our first youth event is this Sunday!
Not only did God take care of the things I felt I needed... but He blessed me beyond that with things I had been dreaming about for a long time. I say all of this, just to encourage you to TRUST God. He brings you through the valley or the lion's den for a greater prupose. My purpose was to learn to lean only on Him, I had NOTHING, so He became my EVERYTHING. God does not bring us through trials as a way of showing His disappointment with us, but to lavish His love upon us... and bring us into the relationship we were created to have with Him.
Whatever you have on your shoulders... lay it on God's. Trust Him. He will bring you through and reveal His love and Will to you, without a scratch to be seen!
Keep on trusting!

Oh, Rachel. That's so good to hear. God's... ah, I can't come up with a single thing that doesn't sound cheesy or that does what God is any justice. He just is, I don't know how else to say it.
