25.

It has been almost a year since I blogged. I sometimes forget I have one, but I’d like to try and keep up with this, even if its just for myself.

This past year has been a year of learning and change. Family dynamics have changed, I got a new job and I feel that I have changed a lot as a whole. When I was a kid, I thought that my life would be different when I turned 25. I imagined myself married, with children, and a beautiful home. For most of the people my age, that is where they are right now. While me, on the other hand, have walked down a different path for the time being. The Lord has taught me so much about who I am and who He has called me to be. He has wanted to keep me to Himself a little longer than other people. And I’m really okay with that.

There are some days that I wake up thinking, what is the Lord doing? Why am I in this season and when will it end? Currently in my life, I feel like I am approaching a crossroad. And I’m not sure that this next step in my life is going to be perfectly clear like other times in the past. I realize that I haven’t always been true to the calling that God has on my life. I want so badly to please everyone in my life, that some times I forget the most important person in my life. God. He has shown me so much grace and mercy over my 25 years, and I haven’t deserved a single bit of it.

I am thankful for these seasons. Seasons where you are uncomfortable and know that something is changing right around the corner. Seasons where God takes you by the hand and tells you that He has more for you than where you are right now. I was called for more than what I am living for. So much is going on in this world right now, that we are uncertain of so many things. But one thing we can always be certain of is that He is God and He always has a plan that is greater than our understanding. He will cover us in His perfect peace and we can rest in His unfailing love.

Lord, help us to see You and see You working in our lives. In the seasons of our lives that we wish we weren’t in, help us to know that Your ways are higher than ours. Help us to trust in Your unfailing love and perfect peace.
