Stories

I only have a couple minutes while my cinnamon rolls finish baking...but I was hit by something tonight as I talked to 3 of my closest girlfriends from back home/Senegal. I've walked through some tough waters with all three of these women and as I reflect on the day here in the wee hours, I am fascinated at how I see God working in each of their lives. Sometimes I don't necessarily see how God is working directly in my life (though I know He always is), but I take comfort in the fact that I DO see Him working in others. Each of these women is in a very different place in life...one at a breakthrough, one down trodden due to very difficult circumstances, and one simply delighting in where she is right now. I know the histories of these girls...I know their stories...and I think that is the very thing that makes this current moment in their lives so impactful to me. I know that God will continue to breakthrough in the one's life, I know that God will give comfort in the others, and I know God is delighting with my friend who is very content. In my own life, there is a lot of limbo right now...but I take comfort...God knows my story and He knows what He is doing. And that, my friends, is amazing to me.
