Hello all 🙂
So I know you may have read my previous post and probably said in your head "get over it!". So I did, sort of. With much prayer, the Lord has calmed down my dramatic feelings. I'm now on a different squad and I'm excited to get to know each of them 🙂 I still don't understand but I realize that trust says I don't need to. i trust Him enough to let Him take me through this period. I'm sure there are lessons I need to learn before I go out on the race anyway and life happens. I don't really know what's next but I know that my heavenly Father has me 🙂
This whole thing reminds me of a previous devotional post:
"I. Did. It. ALL. The “DO you not care I’m dying” bit, the angry “you’re supposed to be God” monologue, the “This is what YOU said” wine and cheese, the whole nine. Of course gentle Daddy (Heavenly) calmed me down, reminded me of His word (and how it doesn’t return void), spoke gently, repairing His favorite drama queen…."
I laugh to myself because after talking with a few friends, we realized that we all act like that in some way. Usually after He rearranges our plans. But our loving Father knows what's best for us. This also reminds me of another section in the same devotional blog. Sometimes you have to take your own advice 🙂
" Our flesh might want to respond in the ways I just explained but I encourage you that His Word doesn’t return to Him void and that He is faithful to complete everything He starts in you. We have no “ root in ourselves”. I encourage you to lean wholly on Him, knowing that He is responsible for seeing it through. Our job is to merely trust and obey. So, some that are reading this might be on the verge of doubt, don’t. I’m guilty of 8 counts of untrust. So, I understand that the circumstances can get overwhelming but allow him to weed/de-stone, plow deeply, and prune effectively in your situation so that the Word He has given you will give life to you, and more importantly, those He’s calls to you. He is faithful and more than that, TRUSTWORTHY. Rest in that!"
" For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jer 29:11
