Soul.

 

 

I have a long way to go, but I am learning to trust God with my future. He has slowly been prying my tightly gripped hands open and I am learning to give more over to Him.

 

I've spent the last two years battling all this change. Trying to find a way to still make all of my life plans work instead of embracing the new plan that God has placed in front of me.

 

I want to learn to embrace the change He has given me. I want to go willingly wherever God sends me. I want to forgive and forget past mistakes. And I want to love the things that He loves.

 

I recognize that all of this takes time. It takes spending time with Jesus. It takes spending time with friends and family. It takes time serving others. And it takes time waiting for God to direct my next steps.

 

I want to spend more of this year reflecting. I want to take life day by day, instead of clinging to things that once were or never will be. I want to continue this journey that I am on, rather than settling for where I am at.

 

I am filled with hope as I remember all the gifts God has given me. A wonderful husband and loving family. Faithful friends and promises for the future.
