It's been a long few years.
It's September, a new month and season to behold. Yet in these moments, I can't help reflecting on these past few years since rediscovering this unintentionally abandoned space. It's crazy to think that just two years ago, we were holding our awards and trophies, on the edge of our seats to graduate and finally experience life outside of school.
The next season was one of piling responsibilities, stepping outside of our comfort zone and into new, unfamiliar territories of different cities and different universities. More challenges faced than I ever thought I would be able to, not because I was able, but because He was able. Looking back on God's fingerprints all over my life, how could I ever doubt that He has planned my path according to His will and that He will bring me through?
But here I am, in the desert season, believing that God is our wonderful Father who is at work around me, but not quite believing He is working on me. How does one remain faithful in the times when we can't feel his presence, when we don't have obvious signs that He is with us and for us?
We can remain faithful when we know. When we know who God is, that He overflows with mercy and desires for His children to come back to Him. When we know who Jesus is, the kind and compassionate One interceding for us, who has paid the price and torn the veil so that we could come close. When we know the Spirit is living inside of us, renewing us each and everyday. When we know these things, we can trust that God hasn't forgotten us but that He is doing a new thing.
"Behold, I am doing a new thing;
now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert." Isaiah 43:19
