Blessing upon Blessing

With four weeks remaining my thoughts are beginning to drift back to my life at home. I started to recount my life in Pennsylvania and then began to reflect on my upcoming time at home in North Carolina. One thing was clear in both scenarios....the overwhelming goodness of God in my life. Three years ago my life took a dramatic turn and I never would have imagined the places I would go or the things I would experience. It was never in my plan to go to Brazil, live in Pennsylvania and attend a ministry school, or move to India and produce jewlery; all along the way God has taken me to places I didn't expect, but that I couldn't have loved more. He knows me better than I even know myself and every day is filled with plesant suprises that I couldn't have even dreamed of. I love the adventure of this life that I live and I'm filled with awe at the blessings I've received. Even more than that, I'm filled with thankfullness that it's from His goodness that He gives these things, not from anything I did to earn them. I walk through life saying "yes" to what he offers, simply accepting the gifts from His hand, and living a life greater than I ever knew was available. Every move has seemed crazy and I don't always understand it, but the answer is always "yes" because He came to give us life and life abundant; He has a plan not to harm us but to give us a hope and a future.... He has definitely lived up to His words! As sad as I am to be leaving Pennsylvania and the beautiful life I experienced there, I also know that it's time to go home. I am blessed with an amazing family that I love very much and I'm thankful for the time I get to spend with them before moving back to India. I'm fully aware that God orchestrated not only my return, but the return of my brother and sister-in-law and I couldn't be more grateful that in His perfect timing He brought us all together. There's blessing upon blessing upon blessing upon blessing.....the Lord is good.
