The sunrise felt like my own personal gift from God.
I didn’t even know I needed a beautiful work of art to cheer me up and set me on my way.
I could not have been more mesmerized by it, or more thankful.
It took everything I had to leave the house.
It’s not that I didn’t want to go back, I love my team, and I can’t imagine ever having a more understanding, loving, or supportive work family, anywhere.
It’s just that I feel it.
God’s pull.
The road He is leading me towards leads away from everything known and comfortable.
It is a hard and familiar road I’ve attempted before, without success, because I tried it on my own, without Jesus.
I do not share these posts to preach or judge.
I don’t mean to sound as though I have everything figured out, on the contrary, I don’t. I need Jesus to get through each day and what I have found in my relationship with Him, goes above and beyond anything the world has ever offered, or I could have ever imagined.
Writing helps me organize and process my thoughts, should my ramblings help anyone, then Praise The Lord!
I have learned that everything is better when I seek Him & His Kingdom first.
I felt His presence, love, and comfort in my darkest moments.
I know that, no matter what it looks like, what it feels like, or what it sounds like, Jesus is Lord and it is not done until He says it’s done.
It does not need to make sense to me, it does not need to make sense to anyone else, all I need is to know that I am following His lead.
I look forward to the road ahead with the confidence of a daughter who knows her Father will always lead and protect.
As I venture towards this new adventure that Jesus is inviting me on, I remind myself that none of this requires my comprehension. There are a million little details that need to be worked out, but where God guides, God provides.
I don’t need to know how, when, or even why. I simply need to trust.
It is arrogance to believe that we know all things or have all the answers or even an understanding of things when only God sees all, knows all, and is in control of all.
We see fractions of the picture, mere pixels by comparison.
The possibilities are endless when you walk with the God of all creation.
The unknown is not so scary when you face it with Jesus by the hand.
Thank you, Jesus. For every day. For every breath. For every lesson. For every gift. For every adventure.
Thank you, Lord, that you have chosen me to walk this road with You.
Thank you for helping me realize that there is no light anywhere near the tunnel but You. You are the light. You are the love. You are the best friend I could have ever hoped for. You gift me more than I could ever earn or deserve.
I am thankful for and overwhelmed by your grace.
Thank you.
“I look up to the mountains—
does my help come from there?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth!
He will not let you stumble;
the one who watches over you will not slumber.
Indeed, he who watches over Israel
never slumbers or sleeps.
The Lord himself watches over you!
The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade.
The sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon at night.
The Lord keeps you from all harm
and watches over your life.
The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go,
both now and forever.”
Psalms 121: 1-8 NLT
Psalms 73
