"And when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left, your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, 'This is the way; walk in it.'" Isaiah 30:21, NRSV

I have been through a LOT this year. The last two years. The last three years. I've been through a lot. (And this is just coming to me?) Not only that, I'm still going through a lot. I can't even get my mind around how much God has taught me in the last one, two, three years, but there's something big He's trying to teach me this year, right now.

It has been so long since I have been this confident in Him.

"Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of our Lord Jesus Christ." Philippians 1:6

I'm really, really amazed at the things I'm seeing God doing in the lives of people around me. It's incredible. Truly incredible. I have been way underestimating God's power for way too long...

I wish I knew where this was coming from, this sudden revelation. All I know is that God is incredible.

And it's probably been about three years since I've realized that.

When did I get into this melancholy rut?

Or more importantly--how do I stay out of it?

Dear God,

You know what's on my heart tonight. Only You can understand how truly unspeakable this feeling is, this feeling of utmost confidence in You and Your amazing love. I can only thank You for what You've done, what You've shown me. And pray that I stay here, here in the flames of Your love, for the rest of my life. There'll be down times, God, like there always are, but please, please, help me always return to this spot--this spot where I know You are You, and You are AMAZING. That's all I ask.

Your awestruck child,
Stephanie
