For me, oftentimes He shows up in the most unexpected ways. Ways I wouldn’t have picked. He shows up in the mundane. Just like when God showed up for Elijah. It wasn’t this loud, extravagant thing. Instead, it was in a gentle whisper. I feel like a lot of times we don’t notice. In our fast and busy world it is easy to overlook these gentle whispers. 

• He sent me on a construction mission trip to Haiti to find my best friend (who had been living life next to me for a long time) and create lifelong friends in Haiti. 

• He allowed me to pray the same prayer for over half my life-time to teach me that the relationship with Him is better than any answered prayer.

• He used my mom's physical heart condition to readjust my heart back on track with Him. 

• He used my grandpa passing away to show me there really is only one thing I want to live for. 

• He sent me on a 9 month mission to learn that I AM LOVE & I WAS BORN TO BE LOVED. 

• He sent me on a 9 month mission to bring me a lifelong community that lives all across our country and soon probably all over the world ;)

• He used working in a community center in Costa Rica to show me who and what I’m passionate about. 

• He is calling me to team lead to reconcile my view on leadership in the church. 

He is using broken things for good. There is so much pain and hurt in this world. It isn’t fair. BUT my God is STILL GOOD. He uses the broken things, including you and me. What a blessing and an honor. 

Take some time to look back on the hard situations in your life. Forgive. Reconcile. & REJOICE because He will always be good. He works all things together for those who love Him.
