Visiting the Inchelium church or Young Disciple Ministries has a hole now- Cheyenne is gone.
Sabbath School class is so small- my best friend, her brothers, and Jefferson are all off pursuing an education or their careers. Their absence leaves holes.
Seeing the for sale sign at the end of the driveway leaves an incredible hole. This is my home; no other place will fulfill this hole for years to come.
This is my last month to be a student at my college- I’m graduating. I’m going to miss my teachers, a lot. Another hole.
When I see her suffering, someone I love and can’t seem to help, I feel the biggest hole of all.
There’s a lot of change that has happened in the last year. My life seems to be quite incredibly holey. Nothing and no one has entered into my life to bring me any new joys to make up for the losses. I find myself often at the crossroads, often at the uneasy edge of the nest where I see I’ll soon have to fly on my own.
Despite the ugly sensations of experiencing changes and holes, I know of remedy. There is One who longs to fill every hole in my life and make every change fit into His plan. I have the choice to allow the holes to be filled with Christ’s presence in my life. I can choose to let Him lift my spirits, guide my tired feet, cheer my lonely heart, and give peace for the situations I cannot reverse.
From holey to holy;
It’s as simple as a choice.
And the result is beautiful.
Aw! *Hugs*
ReplyDeleteI know what its like to feel very "holey." Allowing God to fill those holes leaves me the most satisfied. :)
Best wishes with your future endeavors!
Thanks Kandace :) I'm so thankful for faith to cling to in these times, and the encouragement of others! :)
DeleteKeep holding on - He will fill the holes! (And Jesus felt holes too, so feeling them doesn't mean a lack of dependence on Him - we just have to remember and trust He will see us through and fill them in His time!)
ReplyDeleteThank you, David. Thinking that Jesus has felt those holes for me is such a thought to ponder. I'm so thankful for such a good, kind, loving Father and Savior!
DeleteWow. Yes...
ReplyDeleteWell said, Cami.
Such an amazing truth... I've found that sometimes it's only through holes that Christ can regain His throne in my heart! Holes are sad, and yet so fulfilling in the end.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to have a hole soon, when you leave! But if we keep in touch, that will help. ;)
You're right Emily. It does sometimes take those holes. It's easy to get hung up on things, but God knows when, how, and why to make us think on Him. It's worth it alright.
DeleteI hate to be a hole. We will keep in touch because we're just super friends like that. Without our friendship my life would not be the same. Love you much!! :)
