The Middle of the Following Year

A year and a half.






































































































So much lost... yet where I am now is coming off of where I've been and what God has done. There's so much I actually forgot that I almost feel it completely right to start where I left off and fill you in. It will bring about, what I think to be, an entirely necessary reflection.























Oh, the coming of my journey to Hillsong and what that means in my life. Everything that has led me to this point and everything that has prepared me for my being here is entirely God's design. Every single person that I meet, every experience, every situation has been designed simply for me to witness the plan of God outworking itself in my life. All of it designed despite whether or not I am at a point with Him where I can see it. He has taken the unexpected parts I my life and transformed them completely for His own Glory and I will never cease to be amazed by the fact.




























































Why am I here? Here is a question I never want to forget the answer to. This answer was so strongly confirmed again and again and again. God brought me here. God wants me here. This is where He has decided to equip me and this is where He has been equipping me. Being far enough along into the journey now to have that season become much more of a daily reality rather than a fresh revelation, it becomes all the more easy to forget the purpose behind my everyday. But when the time is precisely right and it becomes most necessary, God reminds me. In that reminder always comes humility and grace. The overflow of His heart and love pours itself into my life. It blows my mind every single time and it leaves me speechless and in awe of the fact that the God who created the entire universe would take me, despite my failings and rebellion and turn my life into a declaration of His love!














































































Time and time again, God has reminded me of the things that He’s done in my time being here and how there is no other place in the entire world that He could have done any of those things. Everything about where He’s positioned me is exactly what it should be. The people are the exact people I need to know, the teaching is the exact teaching I need to hear, the culture is the exact culture I need to be wrapped up in. He’s doing and teaching me things that are so much bigger than me. His heart is overwhelming.
