Happenings...

So... it's been a month just about officially. I miss my family so bad right now. :( but I know I'm where God wants me. Sometimes I wonder if it's worth it, doing what He wants when it can be so painful at the time... But then if I really think about it, I realize in the long run that I'm really not going through much at all. I mean, Jesus went through MUCH more than I will ever have the chance to, so why would I complain when the biggest 'problem' I have is missing my family and friends? I need to learn to see it as, I have family and friends who I love, and who are so amazing, I can't help missing them. :) 

I am growing so much already this year... I can already see that God brought me here to teach me more and stretch me in ways I couldn't be anywhere else. :) In my prayer time, I was calling God by a few different ones of His names and I felt Him put on my heart to start a 'game' of it. :) Last week, I decided I was going to take one of His names every week and call Him by that name, and specifically what it means, for that week. I want to be able to get to know Him and learn to worship Him from a whole new perspective, so I think worshiping Him for certain aspects at a time will grow us so much closer. :) Last week He was Elohim, which is the Hebrew name for Him meaning 'Creator God'. Implying He is powerful, creative, a lover of beauty and ultimately in control. I so enjoyed seeing Him that way that I kind of wished I'd said I would call Him that for more than just a week... :)

This week He is Jehovah Jireh, which means "God who provides". I have already been enjoying my time with Him by thanking Him for everything He already HAS provided, and bringing before Him my needs, and the needs of others. :) I am under the impression God is enjoying this game too. :D

God Bless you and have an amazing day!
