The Road

Sometimes I feel like the Lord strips us of everything to lead us in a different direction. Right now I feel like I am losing what I have been comfortable with - only for Him to restore & lead me down another path. I think we all can agree going down a road with no signs is a scary thing and there is always fear of not knowing what tomorrow will bring. I think about something a girl from my bible study said…. "God tells us to pray for our daily bread for Today, not for tomorrow- yet we are always so focused on tomorrow we forget about today." How true is this!

　

I’m at a place where the only thing I can do is throw up my hands & say "Lord I trust you!" One of the most difficult things is realizing God has a plan for each one of our lives and allowing Him the opportunity to reign over all of it. We always seem to have our own motives and desires but that doesn’t matter because this life was never about fulfilling our needs but what we can do to further the Kingdom of Heaven! Sure- we love to kick & scream on the way but when we realize the end of the story, how glorious does it always end up? So why do we fight along the way?

　

Something I have felt comfort in is The Holy Spirit! I know for many of us we don’t know much about Him and the church is prone to talking more about God the Father- Jesus the Son; but what about The Holy Spirit?

　

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

~ John 14:26

　

I have grown so much in The Spirit and it has brought a new light into my life! It’s like realizing something that has been with me all along yet I have been so blind to truly see it and reach out to it! Lately I feel like I don’t even know how to pray in the midst of the craziness but something I realized is in those times The Spirit is praying for me!!

　

And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will.

~Romans 8:26-28

　

I love the last part- "God’s own will." I can try to plan my future but ultimately God has a plan for my life; He had a destiny for me long before I was born. Through the suffering I endure God has something so glorious in store for me! I cried like crazy the other night while I was praying "Your will be done Lord!" In the midst of this tuff time I am experiencing it’s insane how many people have reached out to me saying how much I have encouraged them in their faith! Through my pain it has brought glory to the King.

　

Instead, be very glad—for these trials make you partners with Christ in his suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing his glory when it is revealed to all the world.

~ 1 Peter 4:13

　

I don’t know God’s will for my life or why He is taking me through this time but everything in my heart is leaning on the promises of God. He has never failed me before so why would He now? I have comfort knowing that in my weak moments when I have no words to speak, The Spirit is interceding for me and that is all I can ask for! I will never understand God or His master plan for my life but as long as I bring glory to His name- Well…. That’s all I can ask for!

The best part- I have 3 people all in 1 who watch over me- God the Father- Jesus the Son- and The magnificent Holy Spirit!
