A little personal

I want to share something, a little personal.

God is good, all the time and all the time, God is good.  Well, sure we have all heard that saying, but let me attest.  

His hands have perfectly orchestrated my life. From the little moments I don't even notice, to the most crucial life-changing events. He knows best.  

He knows best. (said it again, to remind myself)  I need constantly reminded that He knows best.  

Honest and raw conversations continue to build my relationship with God. But, I will not lie, there are moments when I say to him, "Uh, this is not what we had talked about..."    

It is a relief and a blessing to believe in something bigger than myself:
A relief that He cares for me, that He loves me, and that He has a plan for my life.  
A blessing that I can rest in His grace and peace. 
A grace and peace I am not worthy of. 

Yeah, I grew up in the church.  When I say "grew up in the church" I don't mean that I was dragged, I willingly went. Every Sunday, and that was proven when I could finally drive myself to church.  

There are many things you can inherit, genetically, but you do not inherit your faith.  It is your own, personal, intimate relationship.

This March will mark my two year anniversary with New Albany Church, NAC for short.  

NAC has changed my life. NAC is a place for everyone. You may be saying to yourself: "Kaity, isn't every church supposed to be a place for everyone." Touche.  

But it is. NAC welcomes all.  They do this with arms open wide and by creating a dynamic worship experience for all ages using modern technology and relevant language.  Hello, a church with relevant language.  That's enough to go and check it out, but not the only reason.  

I mentioned how NAC has changed my life, I will explain.  It has encouraged, strengthened, renewed, rejuvenated, inspired, and filled my spirit and soul.  

The music is on another level.  It speaks straight to my heart and you won't regret downloading their own written tunes.  

I have made friendships to last me a lifetime.  There is something about meeting and growing with people who have the same mindset as you. It is so easy to get pulled into what "the world wants from us."  I mean, I know first hand. But time and time again, I am wowed in appreciation of His creation and relation in my life.  

He is moving some amazing people in my life.  There is nothing like seeing the lost sheep come to salvation.  It's a goose-bump moment to be apart of. 

He gives the greatest gift of all time.
A gift of salvation.
