truth

Happy Saturday friends!
I was feeling rather defeated this evening working on an assignment for my diversity & social justice class. Some of this does have some knowledge & perspective shift to obtain, but a lot of it breaks my heart as it is teaches that we should live our own truths. What a hopeless place to be. How broken and infuriating that I am writing essays, arguments, and answers to something I disagree with. There is only one truth. God created us, our Savior died for us, & He has plans and purpose as we live in this world He created until we get to go to heaven. Someday we will spend eternity in His perfect peace if we trust in Him. I am so thankful that this is the truth I place my hope in instead of trying to search for something false. How selfish would I be to think that I could find my own truth and that I know better. We get to serve a God that does know right from wrong, and hope & has created goodness that we may revel in His joy.

I was reading through one of my favorites - a Daily Grace Co devotional - after working on my assignment. I read Genesis 1 through 3 in the Bible and am so thankful we are given this information to provide such understanding. God is so consistent in both his promises & His consequences. What great awe we live in seeking His power & strength.

All of this to say…this is a busy & full season. I am loving every day, but many moments are challenging. I am filled with purpose & energy knowing that I am serving our Savior & that He has a plan & a purpose for me to be right here, right now, doing each of these things. Every essay I write, every patient I take vitals on, every dish I scrub, every friend I get to love, all of these are to honor our marvelous Creator. What a wonderful place to be.
