"And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of these who love God and are called according to his purpose for them." Romans 8:28
There is also a new program called Navigators that I will be learning about as well tomorrow. The program trains people to go out and speak to bring awareness and education to the community about eating disorders. I know that God's focus for me is not exclusively eating disorder related...I believe it is to support, encourage and educate girls and women to see their true identity, value and worth.
I think God is using this time to shape me and give me the wisdom and resourses needed to do the work He has for me in the year to come.
So I want to encourage you to trust God...trust that what ever you are going through or have gone through will not be wasted...God will somehow use it to bring glory to His Kingdom. It could be in the form of encouragement to someone, being there when someone else is struggling, loving on others, volunteering, praying...God will show you the path.
When we are going through something it doesn't seem possible that there could be any good that will come out of it. Someone might remind of you Romans 8:28 and at the time you just don't want to hear it...but God's Word is truth...and yes...somehow good comes...maybe through strength, deliverance, a change of heart...
Tomorrow I get to sit in an office dedicated to fighting for people and families suffering from eating disorders...learning how to direct them to help...when two years ago I could have been the one on the other end of the line...I will know...I will hear the cry of their heart...I will know...
Works together....
For the good....
of those who LOVE God....
Oh how I love God...
I fall to my knees...in complete and humble gratefulness...
God is good...all of the time...even when we can't see through the stormy clouds to the sun that is just waiting to make an appearance....Light will come....darkness will go.
Love, Teresa
