So this year has seen its share of changes; namely, our moving to Birmingham from my beloved city Athens. I struggled to see God's plan for me here in this new place when I had no job, friends, or reason to get up in the morning. So after sleeping in as late as my body would let me, God had his way with me and taught me that Jesus is enough. He's more satifying than everything that was taken away from me. I fought hard to remain bitter and resentful but Jesus loves me too much for that. He wrapped up his arms all around me and told me to trust him. Slowly, the dark cloud drifted into someone else's sky and I was left to see the bright mercies of God that spring new each morning for sinners like me. I can't have the joy of both places but I'm being shown that there is something greater that I need that no city or group of people can provide: the love of Christ for me.
