a glimpse of sharon world...

Great are You, Lord.

thanks to those whom God has used to really speak to me and comfort me. my family, justin, my good friends...your love, support and prayers have really meant so much. i feel so blessed that God has put such awesome people in my life. i'm soooo thankful for you guys. really, I am. :)

yesterday night, in the quietness of my room, in the stillness of the early morning, He spoke to me directly. in fact, it was so clear that He seemed to be screaming these words at me. it was just was i needed to hear. i started reading james again (thanks jer!) and this is what i read last night:

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." - James 1:2-4

the past week has been hard but perhaps this is the answer that i have been searching for. perhaps this is what He is teaching me through all this...a lesson in faith.

things won't ever be the same, but i'll be stronger because of everything that has happened. thanks Father. my God, our God, is so big, so awesome, so good.

"...How I love Your Word
My God, My King
How I love Your Word
My God, My King

Your love cuts through these pages to my heart
As you grieve our sins, right from the start
And sacrifice and paradise are in
The plans that you made, The plans that you made

Because I'll never hold the picture
Of the whole horizon in my view
Because I'll never rip the night in two
It makes me wonder
Who am I, Who am I, Who am I
And great are You
Great are You Lord." - Downhere
