Chels in Progress

I just got an email today titled "Hello Saints" and I am on the verge of tears.  I so am completely overjoyed because the Lord is so good , that he would not only allow me to be justified, forgiven, but that He desires to completely rid me of the ugliness and replace it with beauty and holiness through the process of sanctification. If you have entered into a relationship with the Lord, you are a saint.  And today is the day that we praise the Lord for and honor the saints in our lives. So to all of the saints in my life, who have shown me what Jesus looks like, spoken truth in my life, and have loved, encouraged, and walked beside me: I am so grateful for you.

Introducing... Top Ten Thursdays: the top ten coolest things of the week. Not just acknowledging but owning the fact that my workplace is my M field; this simple shift in my outlook has helped me to not only show greater love and exude pure joy, but to be a better worker, which is honoring to Him who placed me there. Realizing that since I've been focused on Him this week, I've struggled less with distractions and temptations.   Praise. Worship night, tea party, and life group this week.  I don't have enough fingers to count all the amazing people the Lord has placed in my life through these things. New friends and heart-to-hearts and time with God. Hiking with coworkers after my shift today.  Trekked up a large hill, saw an awesome bird, and soaked up the sun while talking about cardboard bicycles (they're real). Given more responsibilities at work. New bangs.  And they're really fun. Dinner & dessert in the Circle with an old friend. Quality God ti

Endless blank pages ahead of me, waiting for me to fill them with ramblings of how awesome God is in each day. I love fresh starts.
