thus far this week–

this is what i know (i.e.–what im choosing to trust rather than relying on my feelings/emotions):

jesus sees me.

He desires for me to enjoy my life&job in nyc. He’s not out to make things too hard for me.

He is bound and determined to show me how intimate and close He can be while im at work.

NYC is a small world.

seriously.

i can have community here.

its okay to want to be alone for 5 minutes.

i dont need to be afraid of the lifestyle i live…and how different it is from others.

Jesus is for me.

the Holy Spirit wants to move in and through me.

the Father wants me to see that He knows me. knows what i like. what i need. the little things.

Jesus saw the cross (and me) as the joy set before Him–He gladly took on the cross, so I can surely gladly take on His yoke.

whatever i encounter–its not that bad.

Jesus promises to speak even amidst the constant noise.

im not in all this alone.

i am loved. i am known.

i am being interceded for.

im going to make it.

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily entangles. and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself. so that you do not grow weary or fainthearted.”

you are the joy set before me–Jesus. i can make it.

i can more than make it.
