Hi. My name is Emily :) but You already know that. I'm writing this blog for Your glory, God. Ever since I got here to JMU, You've been overwhelming me with Your beauty, Your presence, Your mercy, and Your strength. It's about time I started writing these things down.
Like most things in life, it's a little difficult to get started. I don't know exactly what to say quite yet but I'm hoping I'll get the hang of it soon :)
Lets start with that day over Thanksgiving break. I took a bike ride with no planned destination. Haha that makes me sound so adventurous but really I just went to the office complex next to my neighborhood. It was a Sunday so the complex was pretty deserted and calm. I was thinking about the book I'm reading called "Captivating" (shameless plug: male or female, READ THIS BOOK. k thanks.) and about the part where You sent John a whale and Stasi a bunch of starfish. (You'll understand if you read the book!) I decided to try it myself. So I asked You to send me something beautiful. Here's what I got...
It was as if for that split second that I happened to take a picture You made everything come together perfectly. After looking at the picture on my phone for a second I looked up and the scene was gone. The geese were long gone and even the sun had set quite a bit.
The point is You are romancing me. I may not always realize it, but You continue to have patience with me. Thank You for working on healing my heart, Lord. I feel so much stronger than I did a few months ago and although I'm not there yet completely, I know I just need to trust You.
I want to show people how marvelous You are. Help me do this through this blog, Lord.
