I'm feeling far away from where I want to be spiritually. After a weekend back in Valpo, I realize how much I valued the community there. I always knew this year was going to be a year in which I would be challenged to grow individually in my faith, but man, do I believe in the power of community more now than ever. These next two months are going to be a trying time as I work to really learn more from this time of individual growth, but as I do, I pray that God would give me a strong community in my heart, if not in person.
A prayer (from another blogger):
Thank you, Lord.
It’s an honor to be worked on by Your hands.
To know You love me and You choose to use me as I am.
And all I can bring are these confessions made in pure humility.
And it’s here in Your forgiveness that I’m set free.
Free to fall on grace and not my ability…
And the world will see that in my weakness You are strong.
