When we struggle, we have the opportunity to grow.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Lately in my life I think I have been trying to figure things out on my own too much. I have realized that I need to go to God for EVERYTHING no matter how small it might seem. I want to listen for Gods voice of direction, I want his guidance, above all else. I know that if I am focused on God, he will keep me on track. I want to stay on track, and more than that I want to grow! When we struggle we have the opportunity to grow. That is always what you are told. Really think about that, let it sink in. When you are struggling, people are watching you, waiting to see how you react. When you have put your trust in God he will keep you in line, and the way you react will honor him. He will open up opportunities for you to grow. God is the ultimate power source.
I want to constantly grow in my walk with God and in the relationships that God has placed in my life. I love being comfortable with these people, but I want to love them more and more everyday. That is a big deal. So big that there is no way I can do it on my own, I literally can't generate enough love for that! I would be completely burnt out all the time!!! BUT when I am in the word and seeking God above all else he gives me the strength to carry on everyday and thrive! He literally gives me the energy and drive to be happy and to encourage people! He loves me so that I can love others!!
With him I can bloom where I have been planted!!
Photo of the Day
I shared this photo with a friend who was having a hard time this past week. It is an awesome encouragement to me! So often I hesitate in giving all parts of my life to God, but he always has something so much bigger and better waiting for me if I just trust him! This might seem silly, but this picture means a lot to me. It is a wonderful reminder!
Song of the Day
"The Cost"
And no to my desires
I'll leave myself behind
And follow You
I'll walk the narrow road
'Cause it leads me to You
I'll fall but grace
Will pick me up again
I've counted up the cost
Oh, I've counted up the cost
Yes, I've counted up the cost
And You are worth it
I do not need safety
As much as I need You
You're dangerous
But Lord, You're beautiful
I'll chase You through the pain
I'll carry my cross
'Cause real love
Is not afraid to bleed
Jesus, take my all
Take my everything
I've counted up the cost
And You're worth everything
This song is a new favorite that found a spot on my morning playlist. It really goes right along with this post and just what I have been thinking about lately. When you actually think about everything that God does for you. When you count up the cost, it is SO worth it. Jesus take my all, take my everything. These are some powerful words to think about tonight.
Thankful Thought of the Day
Bonus Photo😜This is Kyle. There seems to be one factor in my life that I find myself thanking God for more than anything every single day, and it is him. God knows what he is doing, he put the perfect person in my life at the perfect time, and oh my goodness I am so thankful for him.
God is clearly working in my life, and I am SO excited to see what he has planned for Kyle.
