Change.

God is moving and shaking the plans that have been laid out since before I can remember... the plans that were deemed "perfect" in my eyes, the eyes of my parents, and the eyes of countless friends. He is so good to make known to His children the fallibility of our human hearts and minds. I am thankful... and learning. Growing. Surrendering. Waiting. Hoping.

The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.
Proverbs 16:9.

My deepest desire is to be desiring the desires of God, and submitting to His perfect, holy will... loving His people, and claiming glory for nothing, instead placing all glory at the feet of Jesus. I am resting in the peace that His indwelling Spirit will guide me through each desire, whim, and thought... and thanking my beautiful Jesus that He loves me with limitless steadfast love.

Walking with Jesus is hard. It's messy. It's confusing. It's convicting. It's challenging.

But it's filled with peace. indescribable joy. life. passion. change. anticipation. submission. awe. courage. hope. adoration. beauty. compassion. desire. love. sensitivity. zeal. devotion. humility. relief.

It's filled with un-deserved blessing and consistency.

I am thankful.

YES, change is on the horizon. But God is here. and He is there.
