The First Of Many

I’ve reflected the past few days on where my life has been headed. I know that sounds like your typical 21 year old college brain at work, but hey, if you’re reading this it must mean you’re somewhat interested in what I have to say, so DEAL WITH IT!

Just kidding

But seriously, almost six years ago, my life changed completely. I thought for sure I had it all planned out. I thought for sure that I knew exactly where my life was headed. Then, God hit me upside the head and showed me what He really had in store. Within a few days, I went from knowing exactly what I was doing to not knowing a thing. I just accepted that God wanted to use me for something He had yet to show me. Honestly, He still has yet to completely show me. I would be lying if I said I was completely comfortable in this new path He’s leading me down. In all honesty, moving back to where I was has crossed my mind several times over the past several years. The peace has come gradually, though, and I’m sure I’m where God wants me to be.

Life in general is loaded with curve balls. Just when we think we have some kind of routine down, something happens that completely throws us off. We’re almost like ants. We go about doing the same things each day, but if anything new happens we scatter and panic. God’s desire for us is to trust Him in everything. There is no random. There is no coincidence. God has set every event into motion, and He has complete control over your life as well as everyone else’s. Next time something unexpected and unwelcome happens in your life, pray and seek God to see what it is He might have for you.

Isaiah 55:8

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.
