Time for me to be honest, I have been putting off writing this blog.
This last week I have been processing through what these last 8 months of CGA have held, and how to articulate the lessons, pain, opportunities,brokenness, growth, and the Fathers love in blog format. I have come to the conclusion that it’s impossible to do that.
How can one give credit to a season that has been so rich and the most impactful to date through limited characters in a word doc? The stories themselves could make up a thick small font book. You know, the kind that sits on your bookshelf that you stare at knowing it holds truth and depth but the size alone intimidates you from picking it up. There are no words I can wrap around this season that I believe will give it the justice it deserves.
Instead of telling stories or the in depth lessons I learned, I am going to celebrate.
So here’s to:
New beginnings
Risk
Community
Failure
New opportunities
Mess
People who love dad jokes and puns more than me
Coffee shops
Running
Discipleship
Self awareness
Brokenness
Growth
Friends that become family
Adventures
Travel days that fall apart
Dreaming
Daring
Feeling
Accepting
Authenticity
Basketball
Freedom
People who call you higher
Late night conversations
Taco nights
Challenges
Church
Closure
Healing
Truth
Passions
Story time
Worship
And deeper intimacy with the Father
Each of these things have taught me more about who the Father has called me to be. They have shown me how much the Father loves me. They have shown me redemption, purpose, truth, and grace.
These are lessons that will and have changed the trajectory of my life, and I couldn’t be more thankful for all of it.
