Answered Prayers

I've got three days until my three month anniversary of my arrival to Germany.

It's been 3 months.

THREE MONTHS!!!

Already.

It's really bizarre to me that three months have passed since my arrival here. There's just been so much happening that time has been a whirlwind around me. It seems like I only just arrived here, while at the same time it feels like I've been here for ages already.

I've seen God provide housing, provide relational connections, provide community, provide visas. He's moved hearts to help contribute financially. He's breathed peace into my weary soul and spoken rest over a mind in hyper speed. He's given favor in the sight of authorities and patient understanding when nothing makes sense.

God is good all the time.

All the time, God is good.

In three months I have watched God become even more real to me in daily life. Prayer and worship time has become even sweeter than I could have ever imagined. He has been my defender and avenger. My comfort and refuge. He has been my solace, He has been my joy.
Everything points back to Him!

Just prior to three months ago I began asking God to bring me to a place where there was only Him; a place where I could hear His voice clearly and wouldn't be afraid to follow. I asked Him for deeper intimacy. I asked Him for growth. I asked Him to take me beyond the place where I was. I asked for more of Him.

God is a living God who hears and who answers! He is a God who cares and takes care of His children.
You can trust Him when He asks for your heart, your trust, your life.
