It has been eight months since my last blog. I have had plenty to talk about, many adventures that transformed and encouraged me, but weirdly enough, I haven’t had the words to write them down. I really don’t have a lot of words, but I do have a whole lot I want to say, and here it is…when you surrender your life to Jesus, your hard becomes manageable. When you lay everything at the foot of the cross, He answers those requests. It usually looks nothing like your plan (I know you have heard this over and over again), I can say I have everything I have ever asked for and more. I get choked up just thinking about it. I can see how God is working in my life and how He has used me in His plan and, at the same time, helped make almost every dream of mine come true. Another beautiful thing is that I can type “almost” without any resentment or hostility in my heart. Are there times I struggle? Are there times of envy? Are there times of extreme sadness? Yes! But my journey has brought me to the person I am today. Without my journey, I know I would not be where I am today spiritually. I would not have been this close to God if He had granted me my wish for my own baby six years ago.
God does all things for our good, including bringing us closer to Him because when we are closer to Him, we are in the best place we could ever be. I will no longer look at His “no’s” as a bad thing. I am choosing to have a posture of gratitude for even being able to bring my desires to Him. Here’s another thing, a lot of time, we look at a situation and think He is telling us “no” when He is actually telling us “not yet.” We must be patient, but not in the form of sitting still. We must be patient in the pursuit of Him; we must move. We serve Him in the waiting. We worship Him in the waiting. We give thanks in the waiting.
I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Much Love & God Bless!
