blessings in the busy

life is so crazy. my planner has more scribbles

and scratch-outs than a child's coloring book.

but lately im learning that in my being busy

I am so incredibly blessed.

I sat down last night to help lead our

life-group with my sweet middle school girls.

and as we dug into the Word of God

and his truth, and just shared honestly

our doubts and misconceptions about the Lord

and pursuing him daily..

there was moments I just zoned out,

and was just completely in awe of how amazing

God is and was especially in that moment.

I mean who would've thought that i would learn

such deep and heart wrenching lessons

from 7th and 8th graders.

gracious, if only I was that wise and vulnerable

as a middle schooler.

I left with such hope.

their hearts of hunger for the Lord

were inspirational, I couldn't wait to get home

and pray for each of them and dig into the word

finding answers to their questions.

may it always be our priority to dig deeper

and bring fame to the name that is above every other name.

and may we never underestimate the wisdom

from those younger than us.

while they came to hear a word taught by me

the Lord definitely switched the roles

and I learned so so much through them.

As I sat down after I got home to just collect my thoughts and

thank God for showing up with us tonight,

I couldn't help but just count over and over

the blessings that have come into my life lately

and how incredibly faithful the Lord ALWAYS is.

Until next time,
Austyn
