"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." - Proverbs 3:5-6; KJV
I swear I thought I understood this until I told God that I wanted him to truly take the reins in my life. When God took over and my hand was taken out of A LOT of aspects of my life - family, relationships, career, etc. - I wanted to understand and control SO MUCH. There has been plenty of tears I've cried because I wanted to understand, but couldn't. I wanted to know every step and have a predictable lifestyle. I wanted to wake up every morning and not be afraid of being alone or challenged in a new way or taking a leap and applying to graduate schools instead of take a job. I've grown a lot and I know what it means to trust and not lean on my understanding. Since then God has given me a vision for my life that I honestly couldn't even fathom three years ago. My journey found me <3.
God honestly knows the pieces of our lives and every purpose He has created for us. Whew. Our Father is taking care of all of this and in order for us to flourish - we must trust Him and believe He knows. I am reminded of a BEAUTIFUL song by Lauren Daigle entitled "Trust in You"
"You are my strength and comfort
You are my steady hand
You are my firm foundation
The rock on which I stand
Your ways are always higher
Your plans are always good
There's not a place that I'll go you've not already stood"
Let's embrace those tough times and realize that in the discomfort God can do miracles . Let's BOAST in God and not complain. Let's activate faith and know that He has already moved. Let's have unshakeable faith <3 Let's embrace uncertainty and see beauty in the journey. Allow God to show you the journey
He shows off <3
