I’m falling more and more in love with life, because I’m finding myself fall more and more in love with The Father. In the past months, after one of the darkest, hardest struggles of my life, lying on my back with no where to look but up, I started praying for certain things, for help with certain struggles within myself. First, I clung to the verse “Be still and know that I am God”Psalms 46:10 And I prayed for that to be made real to me. I took time that week to get alone and be quiet. Repeating that verse over and over. My perspective on my situation changed. I was able to see a different view of my struggle. I could see that my struggle wasn’t actually a struggle, but protection and guidance from making a lifelong mistake. Within that, I began to pray for patience to wait on what HE has for me, faith in HIM and Him Alone, and discernment to know the difference in his will and my own.
God’s answered my prayers and he’s calmed my soul. He’s given me hope that my heart’s greatest desires will be met, but he’s teaching me patience to wait for it. To prepare myself for it and become the best version of myself, in Him, for him. The Lord is showing me He has everything in control, and proving my faith to trust Him completely in every situation. I prayed and prayed to see Him move in me in a way I’ve never felt before. His timing is always On Time. I never imagined how many blessings He could shower on me, or how absolutely amazing it would feel.
The answers to a few of my prayers, I love to travel and see new things, and He’s opened the door for me to go to California for a few months. On top of that, He’s opened the door and called me to go on The World Race, a missions trip to 11 countries in 11 months. Both of these opportunities fulfill a desire to follow Him wherever he leads. Both of these are opportunities for him to teach me to trust that he will provide the way for me always. And both of these are moving me from my comfort zone to draw closer to Him and hear His voice. My cup is definitely overflowing in many more ways than these, but there will be plenty of post to follow to cover those.
