Good Music for a Pretty Day

It's chilly outside now and I LOVE it!!! Also, I just cannot get over Drew & Ellie Holcomb. Such beautiful people with such beautiful voices. I'm heading to Knoxville tomorrow to see the campus. Hopefully I will have some sort of discernment about where I'm supposed to go after this visit. Fingers crossed!! Bonne Weekend!!

How Great He Is

Im getting out of my funk. The last month has had some really great moments but has for the most part been filled with stress and loneliness. Why, you may be wondering? Honestly I have no idea. I have the worlds greatest family and true friends who are real and honest and build me up spiritually. But for so much of my time the past month I have had this ache in my chest. This pit of loneliness. It has consumed me, exhausted me. But still, through all this darkness I can say that God is STILL and ALWAYS good. It blows my mind that when he created me, he created me for this exact moment. And I am perfectly made and perfectly His. What an unbelievable fact!!! Pslam 139 says "I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made". God made my laugh, my big smile, my brain that is capable of (thankfully) comprehending pre-calculus and my legs that are strong enough to carry me on my hour-long run yesterday (best run ever- so far- 5.66 miles!). He made my heart that yearns for adventure and that aches with desire for orphans of Uganda and India and all across the globe. And the most beautiful this is that he has placed in my heart a small compass that always turns back to him. So even in hard times, in stressful times, in lonely times, I will praise his name and sing "My God How Great Thou Art!"

If you have not heard this wonderful hymn that always pulls my heart strings, go find it and LISTEN. And praise His name.

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee, How great thou art, 

How great thou art.
