God of all Comfort

Today looks like Jesus. It was crazy because I was thinking about how heartbreaking ministry is. Bible study got postponed, so many of my friends have to deal with such hard stuff at home, and my heart just grows and grows for all these people in raleigh and all these people in Chesapeake and when I see them hurt, and even just seeing tons and tons of people who don't know his heart, who don't know its everything they've ever wanted and more my heart hurts. But this hurting is a blessing because Our God just happens to be the ultimate comforter. And so as this wave of sorrow strikes, I get on to my blog not even planning on writing so I don't know why, and found that my beautiful bible study from home left me the best comment about how God is working in their lives and union mission and how they are all so nervous for college and that they love me. And maybe I don't hear God audibly, but if thats not Him comforting me, I don't know what is. He says so beautifully:

Yes, this is the hardest thing you could ever invest in. Its also the only thing. Life with me is heartbreaking, but it is beauty beyond compare. And for all those that are struggling, there are also those that are blossoming in Christ. No matter how bleak the lives of some may seem, there is a group of girls in Chesapeake Virginia learning and living and loving what it means to follow jesus. We have this hope as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul..this hope is not in anyone's spiritual life, in poverty alleviation, in Raleigh or in Chesapeake, in Africa or America. Hope is the one who did not cling to his divinity, but cast it off to be with us. To be our mediator, to allow us to be CHILDREN and no longer be SLAVES. That hope is not compromised by anything I do or don't do. I say this to myself every day: its not about me. There is so much freedom when that rings true in our souls. Thanks girls, for being Jesus to me. Keep fighting hard and loving hard. You're all miraculous.
