Everyday God is showing me new things about life, my life. I realize now that when He began to show me things about myself that helped to heal me from the dark place of depression it would not be the only lessons that I would learn.
To say the least, it has been a learning experience ever since I opened myself up to Him. When I decided that my own way of living life was limited and literally a mess, I finally turned wholeheartedly to God. And when I did the “real” journey began.
It has not been easy! But everyday as life plays out before me, I try to learn what it has to tell me. What is it that God wants me to understand about the situation I am dealing with. Sometimes the answer comes quickly and sometimes not so much. But I continue to persevere to find out.
More and more I am understanding that we don’t just reach a point in our journey and stop learning. We continue to evolve with each new challenge, every triumph and even with every failure. One thing I know is that God is consistent in who He is. He never changes, His promises are true. He doesn’t lie. I can trust Him with everything.
There are a lot of things that still leave me wondering what am I supposed to do with that? But God always has the answer and if I seek Him, He will reveal it to me in due time.
The reason I blog is to tell my story as it unfolds, not scripted or rehearsed but just like it is. My prayer is that something that I share will help someone else as they travel the road of life. With God I can be me, the real me. He knows me better than anyone and He loves me. Just knowing that for me is priceless!
I will never stop learning and asking God about my life. I won’t stop because I need to know in order to live my “best” life on this side of heaven. I want to please my God with my life, it is all I have to offer back for what He did for me!
So as you continue on your journey of life, keep an open heart and mind toward God. He will give you everything you need to make it. Yeah, it may get hard some days, but the reward in the end is greater than the worst day you have to live. One day we will understand it all.
I love you God and thank you for loving me!
