Change of Plans

Things are completely out of our control most of the time. We change residences, we change jobs, and sometimes these aren't out of choice. This recently happened to me.

Remember how I got that job I thought I was supposed to be at? Well 3 weeks later I'm not working there, not by choice. It was a really strange situation, but that's where trusting in the Lord came into play. I had to completely trust Him that this was going to work itself out. 3 days after losing a job I'm working part-time at a different one, He is faithful.

This theme of trusting Him has been so prevalent in my season of life right now. Trusting Him in that my parents are helping me make wise choices with my money, trusting in Him with my friendships, trusting in Him with the decisions I make that shape my future. I think in the last 22 years of my life I've really not trusted Him 100%. I know that. But the last month has really taught me to just trust HIM. Things will come and go, people will stay and they will go, but our God is FOREVER. He will always be there, even when we don't trust Him.

A quote keeps coming to mind regarding this, and my season of life: When you worry that means you aren't trusting God 100%. OUCH.

Those who know me, know I worry allll the time. It does me absolutely NO GOOD, in fact it probably hurts me more. Philippians talks about going to God in prayer and petition, and not being anxious about anything because He's got this. I fail to remember that daily, hourly, minutely. I try and try to plan my whole life out, and thing I'm going to be somewhere for awhile, then BAM, that changes in an instant. When God closes a window, He opens a door. Just gotta trust Him.

I've got so much going for me, I have amazing, loving parents, a great family overall, good friends who are there to listen to me cry and laugh, and an amazing God who loves me beyond all comprehension.

This season of life is teaching me so much and I'm so grateful for the trials and joys I have been going through in the last month or so in my life.

With a full and grateful heart,
