God’s faithfulness in boxes

Today i went to my parents house to start a long prolonged project….sorting trough all my belongings, that are sitting and laying around somewhere, waiting and waiting for some attention.
Different boxes, bags and a big trash can next to me - the party began: Cloth that I haven’t been wearing forever and so many little things which I even forgot about that I had them. Pictures over pictures, birthday gifts that it got 10 years ago, Shampoo that I had bought while I lived in the Philippines, money in foreign currencies, buttons, stuffed animals, books and so on. So many memories, so many people I got reminded of…..it all felt like a journey trough the last 26 years of my life!!!
Looking back on my life so far just blows my mind. God has been soooo good to me. And I feel like I always know in “theory” that He is – but I realized it so much more today thinking about all the things He has blessed me with in my life so far. A wonderful family, friends and all those awesome people I got to know along the road, places I got to go to, things I got to do…. Experiencing God’s leading and guiding and comfort trough all phases of life, just being with Him in all of it, all good and bad times, has just been amazing.
So I’ve been sorting and throwing away all day and all that was left is packed in boxes now. Which leads back to the headline. The faithfulness of God in boxes. Not that I would like to contain it…..but I just get reminded of it looking at those boxes which contain so many memories of my life journey so far. I love it. Even more exciting is that there is more to come. Because His love never ceases and His faithfulness stretches to the skies.

Let it be said of me...

"Let it be said of me
I loved you most, I loved You best of all
No other love, no other joy, no other hope save the one that i have found in You.
Let it be said of me, that I believed You to the very end
I persevered and gave you thanks; I had the faith in who You are no matter what I saw.
Let it be said of me, I loved You more than anything.
That I fully followed You,
I spent all my life running after You.
That I fully gave it all,

I held nothing back, I obeyed Your call.

Let it be said of me,

that i lived my life wholeheartedly for the glory of my God.

That i ran the race and i finished well.

I kept the faith i fought the fight, i loved my God with my whole life. And that to die was gain..i want it said of me..."

I thought about the name for my blog....for about 3 seconds...and it came to me right away!
The title and lyrics above are from one of my favourite songs (written by Lisa Cuellar) and express alot of the things that i would love to be said about me. Not for my own fame and glory, but the glory of my God. I am excited to see what will all fill these pages...thoughts that cross my mind, the things God does in my life, stories about the places He leads me to and the ministries He allows me to serve in.

May it be said of all of us.
