Light.

This Monday, I will start my new job. In it I see hope. In it I can take pride in the man God is forming me to be. In it I find the strength to let go of the things that have haunted me. In it I find the light that comes from only one source. This Monday, I will be a Mental Health Paraprofessional at the Ozark Guidance Center.

Ain't he good?

I have fought Him. I have mocked Him. I have disobeyed Him. I have ran from Him. I have cursed, accused, spat and tortured His people...Yet He calls me child. At the foot of the cross I have recently found the grace and peace needed to fuel the rest of this restoration process. At the foot of the cross I have dug into His Spirit and found joy... and have made it my own. Even BEFORE I was interviewing for the MHPP position, I was fasting and saying to myself, Erick... If you don't get this job...


God is STILL good.


I have held my tongue from the evil in my heart and have gotten violent against the sinfulness of my heart. I am a member of the beloved... I will seek to rejoice as such, despite the visibility of my blessings. Isn't that what 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 says anyway? (Yeah... google it). God's imparted righteousness is purifying me like the coals did for Isaiah and in that I'm finding the comfort that only He can provide. Come on. Say it out loud :)

God is good.
