But with that, God has been getting me out of my comfort zone a lot, putting me in places where I feel weak, which is never an easy process. It has caused me to to depend ever increasingly in faith and trust in Him; it has driven me to my knees in prayer. I do not believe God made any mistake putting me in places where I am weak and have little strength, because when I am weak, He is strong. So the amazing part of this journey has been the strengthening of my faith, and seeing God's hand at work. He has been so faithful!
I do believe His hand is in everything I mentioned above-- even baseball. This is an opportunity for me to develop my skills as a writer while writing about something I love. In an odd way I feel like God delights in the enjoyment I get out of it, because He loves to bless His children. It is a distraction and a bright spot in the midst of some of the tougher (though still rewarding) things I've been doing lately.
Growing closer to God, and doing Kingdom work, and seeing what He is doing, it's an adrenaline rush like nothing I've ever experienced before. But at the end of the day all of this leads to one thing: of all these dreams and passions that have been awakened in my heart, the greatest is for Him, and doing His work. Ultimately that's what makes it rewarding-- seeing His hand at work, being used by Him, catching glimpses of the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth. I would not want to do any of these things if I did not feel He had put them on my heart. Knowing Him gives my life meaning and eternal purpose. That's what makes these dreams so exciting, because I believe He did put them there, and He is going to use them. It brings me so much joy.
