Strength of My Heart

Whom do I have in heaven but You?
And I desire nothing on earth but You.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Psalm 73:25-26

These two verses were read last night during 180. Miles picked them out before the service and we used them as a transition. It was a simple choice. But it was apparent that God was in control. It is such a huge blessing whenever He puts things together and shows me that it is all about Him.

We sang a song - Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone). Here are the lyrics that brought humbling tears to my eyes - "The Lord has promised good to me. His word my hope secures. He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures."

Thank you, Jesus for showing me once again it's all about You.

Today is just one of those days where I am extremely thankful for everything and everyone around me. I am not sure if anyone else has these days.. but I'm just aware that everything I have gone through has brought me to the place where I am now. And that isn't the greatest part.. but instead... that I am still on this Journey and have so much further to go! I am so thankful for God's promises. His promise that He is my Father, that I am His daughter and that he is not ashamed to be called my God. What a precious picture!

I can not express in words how excited I am about the next few weeks. This weekend is LTC at Cedarmore - one of the most beautiful places ever! Last year I went and got to wake up early to spend some precious time with the Lord - It was still dark and so beautiful. I can still remember the scene like it was this morning. The sky was a wonderful dark blue and the trees seemed to be painted against the dark blue sky. I got so close to people that weekend - it is just so wonderful to spend time with people who are passionate and eager to be in a position to serve. It motivates you to share in the joy of Christ together and take it back to campus.

This weekend I will also get to see everyone doing 1:8 this summer! I can't sit and think about it for too long - because then I will just want it to be May, so I can head to Louisville and spend the summer with some fabulous people!

I will be following in Josh & Hannah's footsteps as I sign the paper to accept worship exec for BCM Council. I am so excited about next year and how this summer is going to prepare me :)

These past few weeks has been full of these wonderful little things called "epic moments" that make me smile & I can't wait to have more of these wonderful times.
