Lenten Journal (Tues Feb 28th): Fellowship

Dear Lord,

Oh my goodness, are you working on/in me big time, this week! I mean, I had a good feeling about Lent, but this is incredible. 

I don’t even really know how to describe it! I don’t! And it’s incredible! And I’m so happy! 

Lord, I know You’re not done, here. I can feel that as much as I can feel the sun on my skin. And I know that this Lent, just like the rest of life, is going to have its ups and downs. But I just got two papers back with glowing comments, had the BEST seminar ever, talked in every single class and didn’t feel self-conscious about it! You knew that it was troubling me, that for some reason my voice was blocked up, and You opened my mouth and helped me speak, just like I’d been praying for! I don’t know Your reason for delaying it, and it honestly doesn’t matter. All that matters is that I love You, and I know You’re taking care of me. Thank You especially, Lord, for the stronger feeling of fellowship I’ve been feeling with my friends, especially the other Christians on campus. Thank You for helping me to fit in here, so well! I knew there was a reason you made it possible for me to go here, and I think I’m slowly finding it. Or, parts of it. 

Thank You. Thank You so, so much. I could never, ever say it enough, nevermind too much. You are wonderful and glorious and good, and I am so very happy, dancing in the palm of Your hand.
