Life is composed of a series of moments. Just a moment, just a decision, just an idea, can forever change the course of your life. That's what dreams are made of; a crazy idea, a decision to do it, and a moment of action. As I'm getting ready to leave for Mozambique in just a couple hours, I keep wondering how it is that this dream is actually becoming a reality. It's surreal when you reach a moment in your life that you know is a turning point for the rest of it. That's how I feel today, I'm caught up in a moment of disbelief. Watching all the puzzle pieces of my life fit together before my eyes. As all the pieces start to fall into place I see that they all start to point in this direction. It's not a coincidence, no, a master artist has been crafting this puzzle for a while now, mending the broken pieces and finding the lost ones. As I let all my pointless anxiety fade away, I begin to see clearly that this is where I belong. And as I walk into this new season of life, I know I'm being led straight to my maker.
It's peaceful to know you're not in control. When you let go of your own plans for your life, there you will find peace and overwhelming joy. This is what I have found in Jesus, He is all I need, and He has provided me with the blueprints for a fufilled life. I trust Him, because He knows me better that I know myself and loves me more that I could ever love myself. I know He is for me and will never be against me. I feel His presense all around and I know what he has planned for me this summer is so much greater than anything I could have imagained. He is love, and He is life. What more could I want? I will go to the ends of the earth to know Him more. There is nothing I won't give or sacrifice to be able to love Him more. I know I am more than a conqueror in this season of my life because He who lives within me is greater that He who lives in the world. So therefore I am not afraid, He makes me brave. There is no safer place than being in the middle of his will, nothing more satisfying than responding to the calling of His voice. As I abide in Him, I will see unprecedented fruit and be able to express a kind of love I've never seen before. I praise Him for His goodness and faithfulness to me, I can't wait to see what He has in store next. Love you all, I'll be updating this blog hopefully weekly!
