Psalm 73:26 "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."
Coming back from Christmas break has been refreshing, rewarding and rejuvenating.
The beginning of fulltime wasn't as smooth of a transition as I imagined it to be. Team dynamics were suppose to be a piece of cake. How could 8 people, from all over the country (and Russia), with different personalities and interests not get along.... I don't know, I was banking on the reasoning that we were all there for the same thing a love for God, a love for music and a love for ministry.
Every person in my team is great and they offer so much. It's been a blessing to hear each others' stories and lives. But, it's also been a struggle to see where each of us fits in and where we excel and how we can perform (not just in music) more efficiently as a team. We, by no means, have it all together. But, that is the beauty of God's work.
God's hand is in everything. He is the only one who can piece together our lives and weave in a masterful and grand design. He is the only one who can create beauty from chaos. Sometimes chaos is all we have to offer and sometimes... God uses us regardless of anything that we do. We simply cannot be without Him.
When we come to the end of ourselves, that is when God is most evident.
Being able to go home for two weeks, I was able to reflect on the past four months. I was able to reevaluate my actions and my purpose and I am now able to do those things differently. I can turn around and praise God for the good and the bad, I can choose to serve Him despite my weaknesses. I can look to Him to refill my cup.
