blooming where He has planted

I am happy to be in Wooster, Ohio today. Feeling a bit nostalgic as I reflect on the year, on God's goooooooooodness to me, and the seriously beautiful people He has placed in my life. I see Him knitting me into the family of the Body of Christ in new ways during this season, and I can only praise Him. He has made so much room in my heart for Wooster and the people I love dearly in this community and on this campus. I don't know if I can adequately or fully express how much this means to me-- only a year I was toying with the idea of transferring. God knew what He was doing, all along, and I would not rather be anywhere but here. This love for this place is undeserved, but I am deeply and endlessly grateful for it.

For He gives and takes away...and He is still GOOD! Blessed be the name of the LORD!
