"He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 'The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.' " - Luke 24: 6-7
Happy Easter! Despite what you see here on HalfPastHungry, I am not the most creative person when it comes to cute holiday-themed desserts. I really have to dig deep and force myself to think out of the box, which usually can take weeks and sometimes even months for me to do. Sounds a-lot like my life in a nut shell. Always striving and forcing things in my own will instead of giving it over to God.
I've always known Christ, but as far as having a personal relationship, I can't say that I've always had one. For the past 4 years, I've come to know God personally, not only based on what a family member or a pastor tells me and I've seen God move in my life more than ever before. There's something about being vulnerable and letting God shape and mold you and move in your life in ways you could never imagine. You're his very masterpiece and he takes pride in every intricate part of who you are and who you're becoming. I've gone from relying on myself, to putting my trust in him more and more each day and I've watched my life radically transform day by day.
From being in the wrong relationships, to choosing to step away from friends for reasons that weren't clear to me at the time that were unhealthy relationships, to loosing people I thought "I needed" and relying on God alone. I'm not perfect by any means, but as I continue to walk with Christ daily, he is perfecting my every step. In this season, new friendships have formed and unknowingly I began to use my testimonies and past experiences to pour into their lives by being vulnerable and in return be able to help them through their trials. It all comes together in the end, everything works together for good.
"And we know that all things work together for good to those that love God, to those who are called according to his purpose", (Romans 8:28).
