fearfully and wonderfully made

You know, God knows just how to find me. How to remind me of His deep love for me. His plans for me that He has prepared in advance. How, despite my opinion, makes me fearfully and wonderfully (Psalm 139).
Everyone, there are 68 full days left of college. That's it. To say I am re-living my the emotional rollercoaster of highschool graduation is an understatement. This time its a different transition and its full of confusion, a yearning for direction, heartache, and chest pains. Indigestion, if you will.
But this weekend I was reminded of a few things. That I am delighted in and loved deeply (Zephaniah 3:17). I am fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139). Chosen and appointed by Christ to bear His fruit (John 15:16). Yes. And guess what. YOU are delighted in and loved to the deepest extent. YOU are fearfully and wonderfully made. YOU are 'all beautiful'. And YOU were chosen and appointed by Christ to bear His fruit. I can be reminded and comforted in this but most of the time it's really hard to actually believe it. But I guess if the creator of the universe claims it as truth, then it must be something worthy to believe.
There are alot of hurts, alot of shattered hearts, needs for healing in more ways than one coming from women all around me. including myself. And my hope is that I will naturally fall to my knees in need for my Creator, my Healer, my Father to scoop me up with a firm embrace and remind me of those truths. Won't you join me?
I know its hard. I know its hard to be vulnerable. And to not place healing and comfort in other things or people. I had the priviledge to sing this song with about 50 other girls and if it doesn't spur you on to believe and trust, then let's talk. Please take one minute to read these words below. And when you do, read it like its a statement of truth. Something you believe in or want to believe in.
Healer
You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
You heal all my disease
I trust in You, I trust in You
I believe You're my healer
I believe You are all I need
I believe
And I believe You're my portion
I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus you're all I need
You hold my very moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
and heal all my disease
I trust in You, Lord I trust in You
I believe You're my healer
I believe You are all I need
Oh, I believe
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible
Nothing is impossible for You
You hold my world in Your hands

Loren you are so wise and wonderful. Thank you for the beautiful reminder, friend. The Lord's made some beautiful promises to His children, hasn't he? I'm so glad to see that You, too, are running after Him. I love you dearly.
