It's been two months since I last blogged.
These months have been full of sweet blessings in Jesus, fruitful and honest conversation with wonderful friends, late nights of difficult study, sweet times of worship with the saints, long phone calls with my parents, and tough decisions.
The common factor is grace. Sweet, abundant grace that I do not deserve and didn't even know to ask for before God gave it. Grace that is freely given, that will never run dry. Grace in peace and grace in confusion, grace in frustration and grace in sweet moments of joy. Grace on groggy, "why-am-I-up-so-early" mornings and grace on the mornings the sunrise gently lulls me from restful slumber. Grace to see my sin and grace to survey the wondrous cross. Grace to know the One who knows far better than I.
I've been thanking God recently for my church. When I started college, I was confident that Sovereign Grace would provide me with sound, biblical teaching, fruitful fellowship and meaningful worship, but I wouldn't have known to pray for a church as wonderful as SGC truly is. I've found cross-centered, biblical teaching that challenges me week after week, a population of saved sinners who love their Savior, and a college ministry which is full of students who encourage me to live a life of worship. My pastor says it often, and I simply have to agree...it's the "best church in the world." :)
So that's it. Only because of my great Father's abundant grace, I'm waiting, I'm serving, I'm working, I'm living. I'm learning, I'm growing. I'm finding joy in the mundane, grace in the daily activities and purpose in the seemingly insignificant tasks. I'm learning to trust that he has a perfect path for me and that he has prepared good things for me. And that he knows better than I.
Isn't it just good to be a Christian?

Hey, which SGC do you go too? Is it the one in Indiana, PA?
Well, practically. :o) My husband and I go to a small church that uses a lot of their resources (books, music, etc). What a blessing they are!!!?! I don't know if you know who I am, but I went to the homeschool group at CFC in Madrid, NY in highschool.
