love...

Man!!!

I have been thinking a lot about love lately. God's love, the purity and the strength of it, and then the power of watching God's love through me change people's hearts.

I have been in a tough situation (as far as circumstances go) for a while. I was released from my contract, basically because I was a Christian. I had to decide to stay in Richmond an extra 3 months in order to love some people above myself. I left a job and people that I loved to move to a city where I really didn't know anyone to go to a school that I had never seen. When I got here, my car started messing up - lots of things happening with this car (Power Steering leak, tires, starter, neutral switch). Plus, I was surrounded by people who were putting expectations on me without letting me know what they were. WHEW!!!! All of that can be pretty rough.

HOWEVER!!!!! God's love towards me has been GREAT! God has also allowed me to humble myself and I am seeing the fruit of it. I am watching my prayers for people become manifest. I am watching love transform people's hearts. I am watching my natural circumstances come back on the upswing. Also, God showed me another portion of my family that I had never met. Ed & Deana Montgomery have a tremendous heart and again, are like a piece of me that I had been missing. I am so thankful that God showed me them. It amazes me how when God shows me a member of my family, our hearts become knit almost instantaneously.

More to come, I have to go take a test now.....
