Happy Monday, y'all! I hope yours is goes smoother than mine. But I must say, after last week, I can't really complain if waking up late and dropping my breakfast on the way to work is the worst thing that happens today.
Let me explain. Last week...last week was hard. It was scary. It was exhausting. But it was amazing. I had the privilege of loving people through sticky relational issues, intense health scares, and broken hearts. I got to chat through the mundane, too. More than once did I feel inadequate. More than once I laughed at what God was asking me to do saying "You want ME?!" But more than once I also felt the calming peace and presence of God as He whispered "Trust Me, we got this" to my terrified soul. The more I think about it, the more amazed I become that He chose me to fill this spot. I get the privilege of loving these people, of feeling their hurts, and of making their drinks. So, I'll take the hard weeks. I'll ask for them, even. Because it is my joy and my pleasure to walk beside people through their storms. That's the heart and passion that God has given me. I pray that I would use it well and to His glory.
Pray that my heart would remain overflowing with the love of Christ and that I would keep finding time in the chaos to meet with Him. Also, would you pray for my back? I've had some serious pain for the last 2 weeks and I can't seem to shake it (I know...I know...I need to get it checked out). But would you ask for healing and relief? Lastly, would you keep praying for Cornerstone? Lift up that it would be a beacon of hope in the community, that people can feel His presence and love from the moment they enter. Also, pray for the team-that we would continue to interact with each other in a way that reflects Christ.
As always, thanks for supporting and praying for me on this crazy journey.
With love,
Britt
