This year is quickly racing towards the end. I have my AP French exam
tomorrow, family coming on Wednesday, JSB Friday, final soccer games,
last projects to turn in, SATs and finals to look forward to in these
next few weeks. Though it is a busy time of year, I enjoy it over all
the others. Partially because of the beautiful weather and the promise
of summer memories and travels, but also because it gives me a time to
reflect upon what i have learned this year. I can truly say that this
year has been the hardest and richest year of my life. So many lessons
learned, so many hardships endured, joy and sadness, pain and the gift
of being healed, friendships lost and gained, losing pride, gaining
humility, learning patience and trust, realizing how small i am and how big God is. The thing that
stands out to me most as i remember what God has taught me, is that His
grace is sufficient for me. I can never do enough to deserve it or try
to merit his gift. That's why it is called grace. I've learned that God
is more loving than disappointed, more forgiving than judging, more
kind than angry, and more Father than Power.
I feel that I have been set free this year, from a lifetime of trying
to be enough, to the liberty of delighting in my insufficiency. It was
not by my own doing. I did not go to God and ask Him to draw me to Him.
He sought me out as a loving Friend and kept knocking on my door until
I woke up and answered. He is an awesome God.
