"For I know the plans I have for you,"declares the LORD,"Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." -Jeremiah 29:11
Happy New Years!
These last couple of days I have had time alone to just think. Reflect upon the Lord working through me. The heartbreaks that I've had to go through to get there. I am thankful for those heartbreaks, those tough times, and slowly realizing that it has shaped me into the person I am today. Watch out 2017 because I have a lot to accomplish!
2016 made history and I'm not done yet!
The older I get the more I am understanding that this life isn't about me. I am realizing that this life...MY life is simple. It's to bring Jesus Christ glory in every situation. Nothing more. I'm learning that when your following the Lords will you can get things accomplished loud and clear! Making a large impact on the world around you.
Those moments when you can't see the Lord's plans and you wonder what in the world can he possibly be teaching you. Showing you.
He has shown me what love truly is. How it feels. What it looks like to be compassionate. How to love others in a deeper way then I might have ever without the struggles in my life. For that I am thankful. He has given me a love to work with children for the rest of my life. No questions asked. They have my heart.
My life without these little ones would be so incomplete.
I am thankful that my journey has lead me to meet some amazing friends. Standing beside me through this life.
Everyone needs those friends who only let you complain for so long before shutting it down. The ones who love you no matter what life brings your way.
I am most thankful for the cross and for the love Jesus has for me. There are days (like yesterday) were I wonder how in the world could he possibly love ME? I have so many fears and failures. I have a crazy unpredictable movement disorder. It's hard for me sometimes to understand the love he has for me never will leave.
Today, after a rough day yesterday I am brought back to the love Jesus has for us.
I am praying that in this New Year that my eyes will be on him and brought back to him when needed. I would love for him to return this year and make all things right but do understand he's not finished yet. Until then I am praying that this race won't be too much longer before his return. That during the race I am running it to the best of my ability.
I realize that this blog is kinda all over the place but it's been weeks since I have just set and wrote one and actually finished one. I am praying this year Jesus will use me in a great way! That others will see him through my actions.
He knows my name....and I am clinging onto him to lead and direct my heart this year in the way HE wants me to go.
Happy New Years to the world!
I pray that you have an amazing year full of the Lord shinning through each of you!
