Jeremiah 29:11-14a (NLT) “For I know the plans I have for you” says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. I will be found by you” says the Lord
I am on a new path and a path of where I have no idea where its headed. I have offically retired from the bakery. A bakery that I have worked at tirelessly and have found some purpose in my life. I have had a lot of joy there and have found some amazing lifelong friendships with people who God has placed in my life that have become like family to me. I feel very blessed to have them in my life and its time for me to discover what God is calling me to now, which has yet to be discovered. Truth be told~ I feel a little lost right now. I am not sure of who I am but I am confident that God will let me know.
I find myself soaking in lots of different church services online. I am intrigued and expectant. I am in search of what God is up to and I want to be apart of that! My heart has always been ministry and the one thing I want people to know until the day I breath my last is that God sees you, he knows you and your heart and most of all he is for you! The things that we go through in life are meant to propel us closer to God not further away. Because we are human we have free choice and unfortunately we live in a fallen world and people are bad.
Jeremiah 17:9-10 (NLT) “The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperatley wicked. Who really knows how bad it is? But I, the Lord, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve.”
You see God doesn’t create those bad things, he just helps us get through them and helps to use those moments in our life for something good. Sometimes and most often, it takes a hot minute to see how and where God is going to use them so be patient and keep pursing Jesus.
More than anything right now I want to be used by God. I want to live a life thats full of purpose and where people come to know the love of Jesus. Where they find Jesus for themselves. Where they aren’t relying on their parents or friends relationship with the Lord but where they have their own deep encounter with the living God.
If you want to have your socks blown off listen to the song called “The Blessing” by elevation worship. It is a game changer!
I pray this week you and I both have an encounter with the Lord where we each know without a shadow of a doubt deep down inside our very soul that he is for us! I can’t wait how about you????
Be blessed friend xoxox
