Want To Go?

I was sitting at bible study last night, and one of our questions was who has been a tremendous help to you in your journey? I rattled off a few names but it didn't hit me until last night that I have so many positive christian influences in my life. Everybody that is close to me in my life has influenced me in one way or another, and not very often do I take the time to think about them and how they have impacted me. I think coming to Colorado Springs has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I didn't even know it at the time but God had soooo much planned for me in this city. I have met some of my very best friends, and amazing people who have helped lead me to where I am with Jesus right now. It is exciting looking back at the past three years and seeing how I have transformed. I want to thank everyone that has been apart of that journey with me!

There is one thing I have learned the most though. Especially these past six months more so than ever. And that's that God can help me in ways that people simply cannot. It has taken me a lot of tears and heartache and pain and discovery to get to this point. But I've learned that people can only go so far, and be so much, and that God is the creator of this UNIVERSE! He is always there for me when everybody else has left, He always forgives me when nobody else will, He protects me when nobody else can, and He is there WHENEVER I call upon Him, and in fact He is always there even when I'm not talking to Him. And as hard as that concept is for me to grasp, it is such an overpowering feeling knowing that I am never alone.

what a beautiful post. it's a good thing to be at a place in your journey that you can look back and see how God was a part of it all. and to know that He will always be a part of it, if you let Him.

Oh, Dani, it takes some people many, many years to experience what you have and some never find that joy and comfort.

It is an over used phrase, but God IS so good!
