I Can't, But You Can

I can't follow you wholeheartedly (breathe in)
But you can empower me to do so with the help of the Holy Spirit (breathe out)

I can't love my friends and family sacrificially (breathe in)
But you can fill me with your love and overflow to those around me (breathe out)

I am unable to lead my lifegroup/microgroup perfectly (breathe in)
But you are fully capable of using weakness for your glory (breathe out)

I do not know what my first nursing job will look like (breathe in)
But you know and will furthermore help me and be with me (breathe out)

I am prone to wander, my heart is fickle and I fail to fully trust you (breathe in)
You fully understand and meet me exactly where I'm at (breathe out)

I am a sinner and have a frustrating tendency to walk away from you (breathe in)
You continue to pursue me relentlessly, all the while calling me beloved (breathe out)


Thankful list:
-Last Friday I got to meet with Jane and Susie and I'm so thankful because I got to have a great conversation with Jane and she really ministered to my heart

-Shannon invited me to check out Worship With Friends and it was seriously such a powerful night of worship and prayer.

-Saturday's ski trip with people from lifegroup. Wow. It was such a beautiful day - the sun was out and felt warm on the slopes. I went from screaming my head off on the bunny hill to skiing like a champ on the green and blue slopes (mind you, I think the level of difficulty doesn't quite fully translate equally over to Utah slopes). My friend Blair casually commented that I went from "zero to hero." I'm super excited to ski this upcoming winter in Salt Lake with my sister and her boyfriend. We ended the day by getting seolleongtang at Han Bat and it hit ! the ! spot ! Especially the Korean instant coffee after, which brought a lot of nostalgia and memories of my study abroad in Seoul.

-Last night, a group of women from church met up and we had the Peking duck dinner at Sun Wah and I'm so thankful that I got to catch up and get to know better some of the women outside my lifegroup. We went and got boba after and my heart felt so full of community/fellowship.

Thank you for these good gifts, Lord.
