Going about life on your own doing as you wish will only lead you further from where you need to be.
Listen to His calling, no matter where they take you. Sometimes they may seem unknown or scary but if it’s the Lord’s will, you know He’ll be right there with you leading you through all the difficult times.
Sometimes all it takes is that very instant that you say, “I don’t know what I’m going to do, it’s up to You now Lord” for things to begin to fall into place and sometimes it takes a little longer.
With finding Chris it took a long time, but God was always preparing me to meet him, even though I didn’t know it. He placed the right people into my life to lead me to the right place to meet the love of my life. Though it still took many years, even after I moved to the same area as him to meet him. It took until I finally truly and honestly said that I was finished with boys, there weren’t any in Ocala for me and I was waiting until I moved to NC for school. It wasn’t until I told God it was up to Him for me to find my love that I actually was blessed with him. (BTW-There really wasn’t anyone in Ocala but just outside it in a little town called Anthony.)
I spent many days and nights the month or two before I met Chris talking with God about my future and my husband. Opening my mind to new opportunities and ideas. Changing what I thought were my dreams into waiting for God to show me His plan. His plan so far has been a little different than mine but oh so much better, as I knew it would be!
I’m going to marry an amazing man, whom God has blessed me with. He just so happens to be a pilot, which never crossed my mind in my plans. My dream of living in the mountains is still possible, just in a different state then I was thinking about. My hopes and dreams of marrying someone so special is becoming reality. The passing childhood thought of growing up by military bases and marrying a military man is still possible (we’re seeking His plan on this one). My dream of teaching is becoming closer and scarier! God allowed me to go to my “dream” school and showed me that that was my passing plan and maybe not His.
Following His plan isn’t always easy or fun, but in the end it is well worth the adventure and sometimes heartache that is needed to get you to where He wants you to be.
Be accepting of change.
Know His plan is best.
Listen to Him and allow Him to lead your heart.
You never know where He will lead you, but it will always be worth the unknown!
