spaghetti

The best way to describe what God is doing in my life is a plate of spaghetti. Ok, maybe people with more wit and intelligence would figure out a better way, but that's what comes to my mind... mmmm, spaghetti... ok, I digress.

Over the past couple of months, and especially the last few weeks, God has been working... not that He isn't always working, but to be blunt, I feel like I've just been saved. Honestly. I have lived 29 years as a Christian, a follower of Jesus, and yet I was missing something. The best way to describe that, is to quote a paragraph from a Bible study that I'm doing with some girlfriends...

A person can walk with God, talk with Him, pray to Him, serve Him and be in church sitting on the pew learning about Him, but not trust God with her life. A girl can fail to believe what He can do for her even when she's heard and maybe even seen what God can do for other people. She can learn about God but not really believe it's all true for her. (Faithful Abundant True... Priscilla Shirer)

I think I finally believe that it's all true for ME! I. trust. God. with. my. life.

Anyway, back to the spaghetti... what I'm learning and experiencing in my life right now cannot be separated into stories or boxes, or, for the sake of this aptly titled blog post, noodles. It is however, all intertwined and uniquely tangled. It's difficult for me to convey even part of the story without telling the whole thing because even though the individual stories are great on their own, one can only be more in awe of God and His power and goodness if you hear the whole thing... problem is, the story keeps getting better and better, and it also doesn't end!

Next post will be the beginning...
