I'm thankful for TIFF and the chances we do get to do Bible study via Skype and pray via GChat, TIME to heal and rest and find redemption, TRUE friendships that even oceans and time differences can't break, parents who TRUST God enough to let me come here, and TRIALS that force me to the feet of Jesus.
I've had my fair share of trials. Having the chance to look back and reflect, things have definitely changed in 3 years. It's no longer the end of the world when trial come my way; it's just another chance for God to show up big. I trust God to keep bringing trials into my life to refine me more and more each and every day. And I'm thankful that He sees me fit to go through the fire with Him.
Today when I was driving to my school to teach, the song "Still" by Hillsong kept coming to mind. The chorus says:
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father, You are King over the flood
I will be still and know You are God
It was a nice reminder while my car was getting beat down with rain. That God is so much bigger than my trials. That I can hide in the shadow of His wings. That when I'm tired, He'll renew my strength and I'll rise on the wings of eagles.
Will you choose to praise God in the middle of the storm? Is your God big enough to handle your trial?
My circumstances don't change the character of my God--He is still God and He is still worthy to be worshiped.
