Happy Thursday Everyone!
I am happy to announce I managed to FINALLY figure out how to add the "follower" gadget to my page. Whew, this blogging stuff is complicated! I'm just glad it didn't take me over 2 months to figure out. Haha. I feel the Lord calling me to blog more and more, and I am thrilled! I am super passionate about blogging, I don't know what it is. I love to write, especially about what the Lord is doing in my life.
Yesterday, I went to go pick up my cap and gown for my college graduation this June. What a surreal feeling it was, let me tell you. These past four years have been full of such significant changes in my life. So much growth, and so much more growth to come. I am thankful to the place where God has brought me. I am also excited to see what the future holds, however that doesn't mean that I'm not scared about the future. In fact, I am terrified when I think that far in advance, but thankfully the Lord is there to remind me to keep my mindset in the PRESENT. That is honestly the only way I can ever have peace in my life.
Right now I am in period of waiting in my
life. I am waiting to see what the answer is from the Lord on what to do next
year. I am waiting on answers on him if I should go to graduate school or not,
I am waiting on him to see who he wants me to live with, I am waiting on him
for his direction in new relationships, I am waiting on him to continue to heal
me in all those little places where he still hasn't touched me yet. I wanted to
share with y'all some scripture on waiting on the Lord and why this is such a
significant part in our relationship with Him. More specifically, waiting on
Him with patience. Waiting on Him with trust. Waiting on Him with contentment.
A couple of my favorite Bible verses about waiting on the LORD: "Wait patiently for the Lord.
Be brave and courageous.
Yes, wait patiently for the Lord."
Psalm 27:14
"But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint."
Isaiah 40:31
I love these verses because they speak so much truth. When I'm waiting on the Lord, I should be strong and courageous and trust that He will provide for all of my needs. I fail to do this a lot of the time, but I know that at the end of the day that God will provide for me. Sometimes my faith in the Lord my waver, but that doesn't mean He has given up on me. He is always there, encouraging me to come back into His loving arms. I have SO much more to learn from Him. That is how it is always going to be in my relationship with the Lord. Growing, Learning, Becoming more like the one who saved me.
What are some of the things you struggle with in trusting God to provide for you? Have you confessed this to Him and given Him the chance to speak some truth into your life? Speak, He's listening!
My FAVORITE song right now? This one!
It's soooo good! I can't stop playing it.

Waiting is indeed something that I struggle with too... striving to seek the Lord's desires for my life and waiting on His timing for healing and restoration. Waiting to see His plan unfold for our lives can be challenging, but as the verses you shared {which are so encouraging!} we are to wait with courage, finding our strength in our Savior!
