I've been reassured that this season won't last forever. I've been told that I will not always face the same trials and heartaches. I've been told God has great things for me. I've been reassured.
God gives me peace.
The recent state of my room slightly reflects my mind. littered.... a mess, just too much stuff! I've had so much on my mind it's hard to keep it straight. I've been unmotivated to clean and purge the unneeded things.
A lot of changes are happening in the lives around me and though I feel like mine isn't changing at all... their changes are effecting me. Change can be good - a challenge, a chance to grow & learn. After all, trials draw us closer to God.
God's word reassures me as well:
- The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works. Psalm 145:9
- The Lord is righteous in all His ways, gracious in all His works. Psalm 145:17
- He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3
I'm praying for direction (if you'd like to join me). Not that there needs to be a "what's next", but I want to make sure I'm always where God wants me... not just where I want me. I don't want to become comfortable and miss His leading me somewhere new. Exciting things could be on the horizon!

I will be praying for you Stef. Just remember: My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing [this], that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have [her] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. James 1:2-4. Just keep an open heart to what the Lord is doing and never take your eyes off of Him and when you look back over the life the Lord has blessed you with, you will be "wanting nothing."
