Love.grace.mercy.

Waking up in the Wilderness every morning was such an amazing thing, yet God's plans are greater. Though I don't always see the bigger picture, his plans always prevail.My heart still aches every time I think about Fort Wilderness and the friendships I have made. I'm so lucky to be able to go back up in one and a half weeks.

Back in Iowa this week, ( lol) I have been counseling and leading worship at a girls day camp. Let me tell you, some awesome things are happening! My team color is Purple this week and saying that they are loud would be a major understatement. We cheer and scream and sing and talk 24/7.

Today, while we were having disussion each of us counselors (3) was able to share our testimony with the girls. The amazing this was that God put on our hearts something specific to talk about. Isn't it amazing how individually something may seem so inadequate or meaningless?
Yet, when all of our testimonies were put together it created this wonderful picture of how amazing and endless Gods grace and mercy is for us.
I mean, think about it. He sent his only son to die the most painful death in all of mankind. How many of us would willingly lay down our life for the rest of the world?

Let's be honest here. We wouldn't.
I stand in awe everyday of how deep the fathers love for us. I mean, he created us fearfully and wonderfully. He has a future planned for us. He forgives us from all of our sins. Wow.
( take a deep breath, in and out:)

Short an sweet today, don't forget that YOU ARE LOVED.

In Christ,
Taler
