day forty

oh man...writing this post is so unbelievably sad and exciting at the same time. i'm sad because this has been such a wonderful journey, God has shown me so much stuff during this journey, He has led me to brokenness and healed me, He has build relationships and restore His throne in my life. on the other hand, i'm so excited as i exit this 40-day spiritual journey because i have this boldness and renewed strength that just urges me to go into the world and glorify God in all that i do. one thing that has proved more certain than ever before, that i want to follow God in my life, seek Him with all my heart, my soul, and my strength, and there's no turning back. i wait eagerly and patiently for the day He comes back and redeems His people. i believe in eternity and long to spend it with Him. "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." Psalm 73:26

lastly, my "final" act of love for this journey is making an offering. i received a check for my birthday a month ago, and although i am very thankful, i thought this gift could be used for something greater, instead of just keeping it to myself. returning the check would be kind of pointless and snobby of me (haha!), so i've been looking for opportunities to give this money for a good purpose. i don't want to go into details here, but i found two opportunities that i felt led to contribute. so, praise God, and may He use this money for His eternal purpose! may i always not hold back on offering, because i know that i don't need anything, for my God will always provide :)

i leave this 40-day spiritual journey with a heart that is passionately burning for Christ and what He is about to do in the coming days, months, years....

above all, to God be the glory forever and ever,
