Faithfulness

It was quite an emotional weekend. I stood next to my best friend as she got married and lots of speeches from her family and friends happened and people cried a lot. I cried A LOT more than I thought I would, I never cry at weddings. I was full of all kinds of emotions because they are starting a new life from 2 states away and I know our friendship won’t ever be the same, but also because I was so thankful and proud to be standing next to her and my other 2 best friends all weekend. The friend who has loved me and prayed for me through many years was taking this huge step in life and I was so proud of her and so excited to be a part of that. At church yesterday, we took communion. As I sat waiting my turn to take the bread and juice, I got to thinking about what it would’ve been like to be there that night. To be at the last supper, sitting at the table with Jesus as he explains that He is about to go and die the worst death in history and fulfill something that no other human could do. And to top it all off, I’m the reason He had to. To hear Him talk about how He would go to the cross for MY soul…that would be overwhelming. One thing I’m sure of is that things come and go in life. Some days are way better than others, and there are certain things that happen that I’ll never understand. That’s just how life works. But the really cool thing is that God is trustworthy. We can trust Him with anything our life brings (or doesn't bring) because He went obediently and perfectly to the cross. I cried as Erin came down the aisle to “Great is Thy Faithfulness” because that is the truth, and especially in Erin’s 25 years. That was the song we sang at Mom’s funeral and even on my worst day, it was true then. So it was a beautiful weekend....the scenery, the company, the event. All of it was good.
