Oh He WILL

"He'll bind up the broken-hearted
Oh He will, oh He will
He'll set captives free from darkness
Oh He will, oh He will
He'll breathe hope into the hopeless
Help a restless soul be still
Oh-ohh, oh-ohh
He will, He will"
-Ellie Holcomb, He Will

It seems as though this song was really my story in Belgium this summer. Almost like it was written with me in mind. Isn't it crazy how that kind of stuff happens sometimes? Over the

past year, I struggled with a lot of things, and this summer in Belgium, I saw God work through those things and use them for his glory. In the midst of the chaos of life, I know how easy it is to choose to see no good in the things that are happening (I've been there myself!), but remember dear friend, He uses everything for His glory and our good.

Broken-hearted: Ever since coming back to the U.S. I have been felling a little broken-hearted. I miss my kids, I miss my friends, and I just miss the culture of Zaventem and Brussels. And yet, through all this, God has placed amazing people in my path

back here. They have listened to me and have shown interest in my stories and thoughts. I am slowly being put back together by God's Kingdom. I am slowly being binded up by the never ending love and comfort the Lord is continuing to place inside of me.

Captive: This summer the Lord showed me over and over again just how big my pride is. He slowly broke down that pride that was holding me captive, and set me free to live the life He has been wanting me to live all along. It is a joyful feeling to be

living a life free from pride.

Hopeless & Restless: Most importantly, this summer I have finally submitted and understood what God's plan is for my life. I have never felt more at peace and hopeful about my future then I have right in this moment. I know that there are still hills and valleys ahead of me, because we are not promised an easy path, and yet, I am still ecstatic about the coming years. I am excited because He has given me hope. I was hopelessly going through life before this summer. I was following the "normal" milestones of life, because I didn't know what else to follow. But now! But now I am following the one I should have been following and trusting all along. He has given a lifetime + of hope.

He WILL do all things. He WILL make beauty out of the brokenness. He WILL lead you to the path on which he wants you to walk. "Oh He will, Oh He will." Praise be to God.
