Finding Go(o)d
Life is hard. In my twenty four and a half years of life I have learned that this life road we travel isn't always smooth. I've learned that the plan you have for your life doesn't mean a thing...within days, hours or minutes your best laid plans can be obliterated. Not a trace of them will remain. But, as Christians, it's in this brokenness that we find ourselves before God's throne, begging for mercy and healing. Something else I've learned in my short twenty four years? HE ALWAYS IS THERE TO COMFORT US. Whether it's through someone else speaking His truth to me, through a Bible passage, through my beautiful daughters or just through feeling His presence.
Life has been especially hard lately. Im trying to juggle life with a three year old and a newborn, my dear grandmother whom I loved and adored passed away, and then I've also had some personal issues too. It's been a rough few months. My sister came to me right after Lily was born and told me she really felt like the Lord wanted me to seek Him. So I did. I joined a small group at church and I've been communicating more and more with other moms from church. But mostly I've been spending more just talking and listening to God. And it's been amazing. I feel so encouraged, like I'm right where God wants me to be. So, in turn, I want to encourage you to do the same. Really seek the Lord in your times of trouble. A lot of times it's easier to distance yourself from Him when life isn't going so well but I'm telling you from experience...it totally pays off in the end.
