So I am really sorry that I haven’t updated my blog in so long! The past few weeks have been a bit crazy… Life is a funny thing…
So I think that it is so ridiculous how we can forget certain things… I mean we can know things but sometimes we just seem to forget them… For example the months after graduating college especially after the summer ended and I still didn’t have a job. I began the process for teaching in Korea. I was terrified to go! I was so scared that I was going to have to go alone and for months the Lord had to work on my heart and He had to teach me to trust Him. And for those of you who know me well, trusting is NOT something that comes easy for me. It is a constant struggle. So for months He worked on my heart and mind and reminded me that He is sovereign, He is faithful, He is mighty, and He is love… And He would bring to my attention the times, after times, after times that he was faithful and He would say, “Don’t you remember Aimee? I am faithful. Trust me. Lean on me. Your heart is in my hands. Trust me.” So finally I said, “Ok Lord, I will go but it is not going to be easy, but I will trust you.” A month and a half after that I found out that Elena was going for sure with me to Korea. What a blessing! And I was able to see His sovereignty yet again! Know that Elena and I were supposed to be in different parts of Korea. I was just really relieved to have a friend in the same country. And I praised God for His faithfulness, then we get the phone call that said if we leave in December we could teach and the same school and be neighbors! How faithful is that?!? So throughout the whole process over and over again I had to trust Him and lean on Him because I had no job and no money, and every time I applied for a job I didn’t get it, which was disheartening but it caused me to trust Him more. It also allowed me to build firmer relationships with my family and friends. He was so faithful over and over again. Now all that is the back-story to my thoughts …
All that to say that I have been struggling with a certain area of my life and I have been having a hard time with it because it’s something that is on my heart and mind and I was moping around a bit about it. I ended up talking to a wise women via facebook chat and the words that she spoke went straight to my heart. It made me cry because her words pierced me the way only God can… At the end of our conversation she began to pray for me… I have never been prayed for over facebook before but her prayer moved me. To know that even though we are worlds apart she took the time to bring my needs and worries before a Father who cares.
The next day I was still struggling but feeling a bit better about the situation and later that night I had an excellent conversation with one of the Korean teachers. She asked me how it was that I came to Korea so I told her the story and all the while I was telling her I was thinking, “Lord you are so faithful! Always! Why is it that I so quickly forget? I know that you are sovereign. I know that you are faithful but why is it that I forget it? Why am I worrying or fretting over something that I know you are going to be faithful in?” The Korean teacher and I had an excellent conversation and it ended up that she was struggling with the same thing that I was. It was great that we were able to encourage each other.
Both of those conversations really helped me to remember and see all over again that God is big God! And He is faithful. So again I have to trust in Him and His plan for my life. But I would really like to say thank you for all your prayers and words of encouragement over the last few weeks and months! I appreciate them all! Love you all lots!!!
