Well, hello there. Lots of life has happened since my last post in May.
I am now writing to you as a Licensed Master of Social Worker, employed therapist, AND
the future Mrs. Mark Lukasiewicz!!!
My God is faithful. He charts a path and leads me through it. Along the path are circumstances that cause me to take (big and small) leaps of faith. All forcing me to rely more deeply on His sovereign love and mercy. So that through it all I can only give Him glory for every accomplishment.
God has given me a desire to bind-up the broken-hearted and set free those covered in darkness (Isaiah 61). He used this passion to push me through all the exams and papers in grad school and to drive me to complete my licensing exam. He filled me with more knowledge than I can ever communicate. He has gifted me with specific friendships to help equip me to be a knowledgable therapist/social worker. He then provides a job in town "in need of intense healing" (says my boss). How perfect is that?!?
While in my last year of graduate school, God saw fit to bring a man into my life to push me to know Christ more and to show me just how personal His love is for me. Mark has loved me without hesitation, despite my sin (past, present, and future). Not because I deserve it, but because God is a God of mercy. By grace alone God has brought Mark into my life. And by grace alone did Mark ask me to marry him in the most perfect way that was so specific to who I am and the way God wired me.
It feels as if I am on a high hill looking back at my Savior's loving faithfulness in the crazy season of college student singleness and a deep joy fills me down to the very depths of my soul. Then, as I turn to look at the other side of the giant hill I can see the beginnings of a new season as a wife and therapist. It's a season that is destined to be filled with just as many moments of painful surrender and just as many sweet revelations of the depth of God's love for not only me, but for all peoples.
Deep breath…here it goes!!!
