"Change in the Making"

I remember graduation Sunday; standing there and looking back on my life; remembering myself as a little 6th grader still trying to figure out how to do life. Now i'm going to college and starting a whole new section of my life. on one hand, i am super excited and on the other hand, i'm scared. what if i get so caught up in life that i let God go? what if i completely mess up? that's not going to happen though...but not because of me- because my God cares too much about me to let that happen. afterall, seeing who God really is, how could i not want to strive after Him?

i remember that Sunday like it was yesterday; standing in awe of God because i would not be who i am today without Him. i would still be that little girl at heart trying to figure out how to do life. i am not perfect at life and never will be. i am still trying to figure it out somedays, but when i see who i am in Christ, there is no question. i am here for Him and i have a purpose wherever I go. Winthrop won't know what hit it when God shows up with me on Friday to move in!

i find so much comfort in Jeremiah 29:11-14a "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,' declares the Lord"

God has a plan for me. I am not just something He made to roam the earth and waste its life. He made ME for a reason. and He made YOU for a specific purpose! In Him, i have a purpose that the Creator of the universe has for little ol' ME.

it's not until i look back at my life that i see how much God has really done in my life. and it amazes me to know that He has done so much more than i can see right now! You wanna know somethin' else? He isn't done yet. If He were, I would be dead. As long as i'm alive, there is a reason.

Can we please just take a moment to praise Him?!?! i love Him so much!!!

We are all God's wonderful changes in the making! Can you imagine what God would do if we would wake up everyday and say, "no specific requests right now, God, just do what You want with me today, whatever will bring me closer to You."
