God has taught me so many things over these last months on my journey!
1) Sometimes God has to break you for you to realize His plan for you.
-These past two years, I have held on with white knuckles my studies. I wasn't relying on God for everything in my life. God pretty much had to knock me down off of my feet and show me that His plans are so much greater than my own. It is His will for me to go to nursing school, but in His own perfect timing. I am not sure why yet, but God wants me to wait on this and following His will is so much better. (for those of you who do not understand why I have to wait, see previous post)
2) When it's God's will, He provides!
-I wasn't sure how I could come up with the funds to get to Santa Cruz, but God totally blew my mind! Not only did I raise the $3,400 I needed to go, but I have raised well above that, which will help me with my food and travelling costs! I can say I am fully funded! There was no reason to worry! (Matthew 6:25-34)
3) Faith in God goes a long way!
-A lot of the time I don't understand why God has me wait for things. Friends say trust in God, but it's really easier said than done. It is so easy to have your knuckles tied tight around something God wants, but when you try to take your own reign on those things, God reminds you that it is Him who has the power not you and He can take those things away just as quickly as He gave them to you. I can tell that this has been one of my flaws and God has basically had to force me down on my knees and show me that He will show me the way that He wants me to go. I am continuing to learn that I need to slow down and let God have control.
4)For once in my life, I am so happy to not feel the need to worry about something!
-God has lifted the weight of the world off of my shoulders and I am learning to put my faith into God and pray anytime I am not sure of what is going to happen. Surrendering to God takes off many heavy burdens and is amazing!
Philippians 4:6
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."
Every day is a new experience, and when we learn to put our faith in God with every step and breath we take. Having faith in God and putting your full trust even when you don't understand is always a blessing.
Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the Lord your God with all your heart and lean not into your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight."
I am so thankful God delights in all of us and cares and loves for us so deeply that He is patient with us and wants to make our paths straight.
