God is so Faithful!

I'm overwhelmed right now. Let me tell you why
~The man that I love I can't be with for now, but God is faithful and my trust is in His name
~I was in so much pain and just prayed over and over "God take away my emotion, take away my emotion..." until I realized...God isn't glorified in my emotionlessness. He's glorified when the world sees me rejoicing and joyful through the pain :) And I am
~I'm falling even more in love with my Savior every passing day
~I can laugh and cry at the same time
~The girls that I'm living with next year are gifts from God.
We realized that we all compliment each other perfectly. Rissa and I are emotional and touchy. Holly and Lauren aren't very touchy. Holly and Rissa will both tell you how it is, Lauren and I don't like to hurt other people's feelings. Holly and I just both love people and we absolutely love the Word and we're athletic...and we've been roommates for the last year. :)
~We are all going through boy stuff right now. Rissa and I basically have the exact same problem and have been able to point each other back to God continually.
~We all have our own bits of wisdom that combined show each other the love of Christ in everything.
~Last night, Holly was having difficulties and so the Future Roommate Friendship (or FRF) were all praying for Holls...then Lauren left to deal with another boy issue...so the two remaining FRF, me and Rissa prayed for her and then hugged, holding each other for at least a minute while we laugh/cried...absolutely overwhelmed that God has placed us all together.
~God has been bringing random people back into my life.
1. A man that tore my heart out of my chest that I pray for daily but never thought I would talk to ever again emailed me out of the blue and since then has been talking to me at least once a day.
2. I've been able to reconnect to a dear friend from highschool that's athiest who sent me a bumper sticker on Facebook that said "In Christ alone my hope is found, He is my light, my strength my song." I told her that she was worth the world and never to let a guy treat her like she wasn't and told her about Christ and how much hope I have found in Him. She wrote me that when I told her that, she felt power that she'd never felt before and that it meant so much more to her when I said it than her best friends!!! THAT'S CHRIST WORKING!!!
3. My intern who I dearly love and who brought me though so much is also back in my life. And I'm so glad God has given him to me for this time
4. Another high school friend that I haven't talked to for years is talking constantly to me
5. Another ex-boyfriend is also now my friend and he talks to me all the time

Seriously God. You are showing me so much joy through my pain. So much peace through my trails and I am so thankful that you are so faithful.

I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart
That's still beating
In the pain
There is healing
In your name
I find meaning
So I'm holding on
I'm barely holding on to you

I'm so excited to see You work Lord God. Use me for your glory. I want nothing but you're name to be glorified over all the earth
