Just so you know I didn't make this up...

It is absolutely amazing when God does a work in a person's heart and provides new desires, new interests, new convictions, and possibly the most mind-blowing for me, a new peace.

I feel like that's exactly where I am. Three or four weeks ago, I would have laughed in your face if you would have said I'd be here. I mean, I literally made a comment that is so contradictory to where I'm at right now. The past few weeks have been crazy with a capital c. God is giving me new heart desires; He is redirecting the paths of my heart, and He's literally giving me new affections...ones that weren't there three weeks ago. My mom is probably the only human I've talked to that has heard the "before" and "after" sides of this story. I probably don't make sense, and that's okay. You may think I'm crazy, and I'm alright with that. I know what's on my heart, and I know what God has been doing lately, and it's exciting.

What's even more exciting than all this is the new peace that has been given. It's that peace that passes all understanding, guarding my heart and mind in Christ Jesus. It's absolutely beautiful. It's immensely comforting, and it reminds me how grateful I am to have hope and joy in Christ.
