Hi everyone! I'm sorry it has been so long since I have posted! Stephanie has done a fabulous job of keeping up with things!
Coming right out of high school is scary for so many people including myself. I constantly feel like I'm walking across a swinging bridge to get to my next destination. Right when I feel safe and secure in my plans and the swinging calms down, something happens and there it goes again! The scariest part for me is that I am just aimlessly moving forward. Sure, I have an idea of what I want to do, but I am also passionate about being in God's will. So I take a step, maybe two and then I sit for a while.
Our circumstances are not always how we plan. I had these amazing college plans, but they didn't work out. I was heart broken, it was really where I wanted to go. Of course I have a Plan B and it's working out but it certainly doesn't measure up to Plan A. Dare I say I was angry with God? I thought he would come through with this for me.
"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1. This verse has been something I have clinged to, I may have no idea what I am moving towards, but Gods promises for my life do not fail. When I continue to follow his word, he shows me his faithfulness. The bridge is less scary because I know regardless of how many times I hesitate and slip, God is there to help me back up an show me where to go.
Never lose sight of the small awe inspiring things God has for your life because you are to busy looking at the big picture. Our God is faithful, and his timing is perfect. Trust that when you make your next step!
