So I visited Tuscaloosa this weekend and experienced a myriad of emotions, some hurt and sadness, along with some good times. I would have to say that one of the absolute highlights was having breakfast with a dear sweet friend. We talked non-stop, laughed and even cried a bit. It was fabulous! I so cherish deep meaningful friendships. The other highlight was visiting Highlands. I must say, at first I was a little nervous about going, but I was welcomed with hugs galore, ear-to-ear smiles, even some squeals. It wasn't like I was visiting family, I actually was visiting family. I so miss that uplifting community...Lord, please help me find my community here in FoCo.
I was listening to K-LOVE on my way to work this morning and they have challenged all their listeners to choose one word that they are trusting the Lord to help them live out this year. My word is confidence. Confidence in myself as a woman, yes, but so much more than that. Confidence in the Lord. Confidence in the fact that He is working all things out for good. Confidence in knowing that he is faithful to all of His promises. Confidence to trust that He is not finished with me yet. Confidence in believing that I am cherished and beautiful in His sight. Confidence to speak truth in love, even when the truth isn't wanted. Confidence in all things.
And now I pass on the same challenge to you. What is your word for 2011?
Blessings to you!
