Well, my friends....I have an update for you! Things are coming together remarkably well. I have a cute little house and I've been working to get it ready for when the kids come up. I have landed a job already! I'll be assisting teachers at Legacy Prep Charter School. I think it will be a perfect job for my circumstance and it will give me teaching experience as I work towards my certificate. It took alot of prayer and faith to come this far in only 9 months, not to mention a little courage to follow those promptings. Faith is knowing that it'll all work out in the end. Prayer is a tool to know the Father's will. And courage is necessary to make it all come together.
Finding a house.....check!
Moving all my stuff (aka:crap)......check!
Finding a job..........check!
Making new friends........check (and still in the works)!
Finding a good husband.........still in the works (will be for a while)!
Mending my heart..........check (pretty much)!
I was thinking today, while driving to pick up my couch I got at DI for $30 (wahoo!), and I had a pretty cool realization. I was thinking about how Christ is our mediator. He serves as the one in the middle to satisfy justice and mercy. Both cannot be obtained without Him. But before, I had always thought that Christ was the mediator between us and Heavenly Father (which is true). This afternoon I realized that He is more than that. He acts as the mediator for all of our relationships. That is why the "marriage triangle" is what makes an eternal marriage possible. A marriage must have Christ as the mediator for it to last in the eternities. Ah ha!:)
None of us knows what another person is thinking or feeling. Communication helps us learn what someone else is thinking, but even that has complications. Misunderstandings happen alot. When people see and understand things differently and there can't be a way to satisfy both parties a mediation must take place. Christ is that perfect mediator. He sees both sides and can offer comfort and mercy and forgiveness for both sides. His atonement is infinite! It covers everything! It provides a way for us, not only to find remission for our sins, but to also find forgiveness, healing, mercy, peace, solace, compassion, comfort, trust(which has to be built)! In ALL of our relationships.
Jesus Christ is my rock and my salvation, but most importantly my truest friend who will always understand ME and be MY advocate! He loves me! He loves you! There is NOTHING that can take that away EVER! Do you feel His love for you? I sure hope so, because it's awesome!:)
