on the way to a new home

I am on the way to my new home currently sitting in chicago, watching the sunset. It has been a tough day and I am so thankful for all the words of encouragement. But at the moment grief is being taken over by excitement. As I was sitting on my first flight looking over His amazing creation I had an overwhelming feeling of being unprepared and wishing I had read another book or studied more language, but then He reminded me of a passage I had just read in first corinthians, He uses the foolish to shame the wise and the weak to shame the strong. He is the source of strength. It has nothing to do with me and all to do with Him. As I remain in Him, He will give me and fill me with exactly what I need. How great is He!

On the plane I began to read further in the book and then in chapter 6, He writes, "And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Son." We have been made new and are changed on the inside and the outside. And He has done it all. He changes us, not ourselves. As I read those words I Him reminding me of that truth and excitement began to fill my heart. He is going to do incredible things for His glory and I am so thankful to be a part of what He is about to do.
