People always have told me to always trust God in the hard times and to know that when he changes your plans that his plan is one hundred percent better than anything you could ever imagine or ask for. I have never really experienced this until recently when he completely changed my route. The reason I had to change my route is because I feel as he wants me to finish college before I leave and have no distractions.
Recently when I have been going to church I have been getting almost the same message. It has been about trusting God in the hard times and to not get upset. When I kept thinking to myself I was telling him thanks God I don’t know why you are telling me this because I am not really going through a hard time but then it all made since. The lord has changed my direction and I am no longer going on route one in August, but I am going on route one in January.
When this first happened, and I had to change my route because of school reasons I was kind of upset because I no longer will be going with my best friend. Then I remembered what he has been teaching me recently to trust him in the hard times and it all made since. I immediately felt peace in my heart and mind. No longer was I mad but I was excited because I knew that my father the king of kings has me in his hands and that he will always do what is best for me. He laid down the foundation through the sermons I had been listening to and even before I knew why he was telling me those things he knew that I was going to need those words of encouragement.
So, I am excited to say this now because I know that he has a plan for me and that it is all going to work out and I no longer need to worry about why he is doing this, but I need to continue to trust in him. I don’t need to worry for he is going to make my paths straight and he is going to have me go to the countries that I am going to have the most impact on.
Also, another huge thing that was upsetting me was the thought of not going with Josh anymore. Then he reminded me that for the most growth and the most impact I can have I need to be completely out of my comfort zone and I need to be completely reliant on God. This even excites me because I know how much I am going to grow because I am going to be completely reliant on him. With this being said I still think that I would have grown if I went with my best friend, but I know how I would have used Josh as a comfort and known that if something went wrong I could just go to him to talk about the situation but now if something happens I am going to run back to God and ask him first.
Thank you for the continues support and love I am forever grateful! Hope everyone is taking advantage of this beautiful weather we are having here in Georgia!
