Fully Stoked.
Life is full of many twists and turns.
It's not always easy and quite often feels more than a little overwhelming, but you know what I've found out? Thre is eternal assurance in the fact that God loves me and cares for me enough to save me from eternal death so this means that no matter what I'm going through, I don't have to go it alone!
That revelation has continually rocked my world for the past few years and what I'm stoked about most now is that when times are especially tough in some aspects of my life, God has given me oh so many reasons to rejoice and be excited.
Let me explain..
That chapter that has ended in my life (and I've explained to you already), has come up in conversation in the past few days and especially today and everything within me wants to flip back a few pages to the chapters contents (figuratively speaking) to find out if the chapter is really finished or not, but I know I can't because it would suffocate me... but through it all, God gives me days like the one I've had today with 2 great friends in my life full of fun memories and joyful times and I am reminded that God is always there to catch me, to look out for me and to protect me.
I've been getting into the Psalms a lot lately and Pslam 108:1 has particularly stood out to me...
My heart is confident in you, O God; no wonder I can sing your praises! Wake up, my soul!
That's exactly my thoughts right now - summed so concisely. My heart is confident in God... It's not my head that's confident in God because my head tries to rationalise anything and everything and make all "as it should be" according to Carli. My heart which ultimately what comes from my mouth and my actions is confident in God. No matter what comes my way, I am confident that my God knows what each moment holds and will equip me every step of the way as I hold onto Him, secure in his love.
Lately I've just had so much happiness bursting from me that it's been crazy... thing is, I've tried to hold it in and it just explodes from me because I long to share my happiness and God's awesomeness with everyone around me! And doing the journey with him, gives me a desire to totally get to know people !!! So I'm gonna run with it because I've never cared as much as I do now.
In summary: I am stoked with life right now. Fully stoked!
I'll totally write more soon after having some sleep and doing life some more.
Bring on tomorrow (or today!)!
