Clearly

It is pretty amazing to look back on times in your life and see where God was clearly working. What may feel like a small insignificant event can easily be the catalyst for huge events later in life. This weekend I had some time to reflect on the past year. There have been a couple of fairly large events in my life but nothing has impacted me more than the small ones, the things that happen almost everyday and seemingly by accident.

When I received my acceptance letter from ACC, I took a few moments to retrace the steps that led me to this point. I see moments were I struggled and fought God. I see moments where I was completely broken by God and I see moments where God's will is as clear as water. Right now I am in one of the clear moments. I really think that the clarity comes from knowing where I have been and being able to see God's hand slowly and sometimes forcefully guiding me to where I am today. Although the path before me is clear water, at some point all water will become cloudy and murky. but after reflecting on my past, I have faith that God will lead me through the dark waters even though at some points I will fight Him.


Here is something completely unrelated but it is really on my heart. I know that everyone is told this all the time but I just want to stress it again.
Pray for the people around you. Family, friends, co-workers your church members and leaders. Pray for these people every day. Sometimes the people who shine the brightest light of Joy have the darkest pain and hurt inside.

Love one another,

Kevin
