I don't really know what to say today. I've had a very interesting few weeks and I'm learning so much about who I am.
I realize that life's journey is not about discovering a new you, but the you that God always wanted and intended for you to be!
That journey is not easy, and to be honest it doesn't feel simple, but as I sit here and type I realize more than ever that even that discovery journey IS simple.
The simplicity comes from acknowledging that God has the answers, that God knows better than I do, that God IS God. I feel like I struggle for words right now. I know that's hard for some to believe, but it's true.
I just keep thinking about my favorite verses that I repeated several times in the shower this morning - Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and he will make your paths straight (or direct them - you pick your version of the Bible). - Proverbs 3:5-6
People say God is a crutch sometimes, and I say sure! If I had a broken leg and I needed to lean on something or find support, I'd rather use a crutch than fall on my face alone!
But what's great is at some point, your leg is repaired and the cast comes off and the crutch is no longer needed. Now I'm not saying toss God into the closet but what I am saying is that there are areas in your life where you are weak and feel hopeless. At some point, God is able to show you how to overcome these areas and you now become a support or crutch even for others.
We wonder why we go through things in life, and I think part of the answer is to find who God intends us to be and the other is to find where we help support others! It kinda looks like a "Loving God and Loving People" kind of picture doesn't it?
