Infinitely More

Exhausted and exhilarated. Overwhelmed and overjoyed. Busy and blessed. Hurried and humbled.

A perfect description of a most amazing 3 days of celebration.

Not only was God at work perfecting His promises in my life during the days prior, He continued His perfection into a weekend that was like no other. A weekend of realizing, remembering, reflecting, renewing, refreshing, relating, rejoicing, and record-setting.

The power of God, a matchless force.

"By His mighty power at work within us, He is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope." Ephesians 3:20

Infinitely more.

Gratitude overwhelms in the recounting of details, interactions, successes. With gratitude comes joy. Joy to carry through the exhaustion, joy to desire more of God's plans, to witness more of His perfection.

"...a glorious, inexpressible joy." 1 Peter 1:8

The list is not long enough to truly appreciate, the mind not capable enough to comprehend all that He has done. Yet the eyes have seen, the ears have heard, the heart is full. God is good.
