Hello friends, family and anyone who finds their way here to read this blog.
Welcome<3
I know I haven’t blogged in quite sometime, but I feel that this present moment is a great opportunity to jump right back into where I left off. My life is in a very short season of quietness as I look forward to entering into the Nursing Program in January (Lord willing) and I want to make a commitment to myself, to you, and to God to blog for the next 3 weeks continuously.
Right now, I am currently living in Manhattan, NY with my wonderful husband. God has certainly been blessing us with great comfort, joy and hope for the future all of the days we have spent here. This Psalm comes to mind as I find it to be an accurate description of this time in my life.
Psalm 31:21
“Blessed be the Lord; for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.”
Apart from our living arrangement, I give complete and absolute Glory to God for giving me the opportunity to attend the Bachelor’s of Nursing Program at Nyack Christian College. He alone has allowed me to pass the entrance exam and I plan to attend the program full time this upcoming spring (2017).
I feel that what God has been showing me for the past few months is to simply (or not so simply?) empty myself of myself (in addition to everything in this world) and to completely pour myself into Him, His Word, and the lives of those around me. I heard a pastor preach last Sunday that “Love is the meaning of life” and I full-on agree. Without love we could not comprehend our Creator because God is love. Without comprehending what God has done for us, we could never have fathomed or had faith in the promise of salvation through Jesus Christ. Love is transcendent beyond what the television or social media sells- it is the true meaning and purpose of life.
I see the world in such a broken state and my heart stings as I seem to be staring into the face of a depraved society that is crumbling right before my very eyes. The world cries out for its Creator almost unknowingly and unaware of the completely terminal state it is in.
It is because of this realization that I believe that God is still leading my heart to become a full time missionary. To become a Nurse will be an amazing honor and to be able to provide for my family is an exceptional feat that I aspire to accomplish. In addition, to minister to the world on a spiritual level is where God has set my eyes and heart and in His good and perfect timing, He will make a way and all of His plans for my life will come to fruition.(Full time ministry awaits ^_^ ) In the meantime, this season has been a truly remarkable time of growth and love and I am extremely blessed to have the life that I have been living!
Thank you everyone for your prayers and your support. I truly thank God for all of the wonderful family and friends that are continually there with me on this journey and that richly bless my life.
God bless everyone; have a wonderful night of rest and love.
