Hallelujah
What a fitting word for this blog post!
God is good.
Chicago is the city that I now call home, but home has become a strange word for me. I have lived in four cities within the last two years, after spending the first eighteen years of my life in one lone house. Oh how I miss that house and the familiarity of Mission Viejo, but moving and changing has been good for both me and my parents. God has blessed us and we hope to use the blessing He has given us to further praise and glorify Him!
God is good.
You may now officially call me a junior in college. What a crazy thought! I know this phrase is so cliche, but it feels like just yesterday that I was a freshman moving into my cramped dorm room, worried about EVERYTHING. I have finished my sophomore year not without gaining some scars and lessons learned. When people have asked me how it feels to be done for the summer all I think in my head is 'sigh.' I have no words for it, because in some respects it marks a milestone of being halfway through my college career, which is scary, but really I am so happy to never see sophomore year again. It was a tough one, tougher than freshman year in many ways.
But God remains good.
Softball is over as well and I am sad to say that the end of this season brings me more happiness than sadness because, by the end, I was ready for a break. Don't get me wrong there were many tears, especially saying goodbye to a couple of our seniors who are so special and important to me, but overall this season needed to meet its end. I can say that I am excited for next year all that I want, but honestly I need a break right now. After the summer I am going to be ready to play ball once again, especially since next year will include a reunion between myself and my best friend, Jenna. One bright spot on the season, that I can only attribute to the grace and power of God, is I was named to the 2nd Team All-Big East, improving my stats both in pitching and batting. I know it was only God's strength that got me through this tough season and through Him I can celebrate the small victories and see the bigger picture.
Therefore, God is good.
I have struggled, been knocked down, beaten, and to be honest I am still healing physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, but throughout it all I have realized that God remains the same. No matter how many times I wandered away from Him or decided that my plan was better, whenever I returned He was always there waiting for me. Yet every time, I was surprised by His consistency and could hear Him saying "I have been waiting here for you and now that you are back, I will give you peace and rest." I am still wrestling with all this, but throughout it all:
God has been good.
