Burst of Joy

One of those burst of joy days :) Seeing God's grace in a new way -- He really doesn't forsake. His grace is there to help us in the difficult times. He's there for us. We simply need to ask Him. And remember to repent. Which consists of turning to a new direction! We may fail. We will fail. Yes. BUT that's not the end. AND He is ALWAYS there to help pick us up and walk alongside of us (or even carry us) in the way we're to go. There is hope. That's what I love about Christianity -- there's HOPE for the future! This isn't the end. 

On a different note, finals are DONE! Also, today was really fun -- my boyfriend and I did a "trust exercise" haha. He first led me while I closed my eyes and then vice versa. It's weird walking and not seeing. It's completely trusting that the other has everything under control and is looking out for your safety. And being honest about what path is the best! Juan reminded me that it's like walking with God -- we can't see the future or what's in front of us, we're scared, we don't want to move forward fearing that we'll get hurt or make the wrong step. But all along God sees. And God knows. And He's gently nudging us along, leading us, speaking softly to us regarding what we need to do and where we need to go. At the same time, it's relationship. Who of you would trust a stranger leading you blindly? No one I hope! The trust is based on the one leading. And that trust is built by getting to know them. If you learn that that person who is leading is loving, caring, gentle, smart, etc, you trust them (more easily at least). 

Christmas is coming. <3
God bless!!!
