"God likes his yokes easy."~quote on a sign at a church
When I saw this quote on that sign today, it really stuck out to me, because it is based off my favorite verse!!!
Matthew 11:28-29 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls."
During all the traumatic life events that happened over the last couple of years, losing my dad, breakups, getting anxiety/mild depression from both these things, I have learned that God will always give you as much as you can handle. He will make you strong and teach you, and use you to glorify Him, even in those hard and somewhat dark times. I have come out on the other side of all those dark times, and I am full of life and joy- and reaching a place where I can fully serve HIM!! And, what's really great- is He is using my passions- like art, travel, missions, teaching- to do it!! He wants us to be HAPPY while we serve HIM. And, I think this is absolutely amazing..much more than great! ;)
Anyways, please look to my other official China blog to see what I'm up to in China. There will be no commenting on that one, so just go and read it and enjoy it. If you want to comment, you can e-mail me personally. I'm not giving out the e-mail though..so, hopefully if you're close to me, you have it!! :)
Here's the China blog:
