Believe

Ever since I got home from LoveCorps, its been rush, rush, rush back into life. Work has been stressful because I need to finish all the videos for the website to be launched at the beginning of next month. I've been making a lot of progress, but I've spent a lot of my time and energy there as well.

I miss being with my Opitsaht team, but I feel like the transition coming home has been a lot easier this year than it was last year. Every time I remember my teammates, I lift them up in prayer. I have been praying so much since I returned home, and when I meet up with friends, our conversations are always so centered on Christ. I have been abiding in God much more than I have ever in my life. When I get in the car to drive somewhere, I talk to God. When I wake up, and when I sleep, I think about God's amazing love. It's been amazing to be in a constant conversation with God.

But it's different than I imagined. There aren't fuzzy feelings of warmth and excitement. No spectacular signs or a booming voice from the sky.

It's a peace. Calm assurance that God is in control. A steady belief. Quiet trust. And God doesn't answer me in the storm, but in the still and small silence where I simply trust Him and

Believe.
