So... after years of praying that God would speak to me like he spoke to others... that He would specifically guide me, tell me where to go and I would follow.. Wow. He's starting. The past few weeks have been amazing. Everyday there's something else that leaves me in complete awe of God, that shows me more who He is in a personal way, that shows me how much He loves me, and everyone else for that matter. Most of all, I'm completely humbled and still finding it hard to believe... that God can use me. I mean, of course He can use everyone... but something about lately, just amazes me. I'm just me. I can't argue with God... and since Amanda I've been practicing the "nah... maybe later. --- I mean- yes Lord!" conversations multiple times daily. Some of the stuff is little, some of it is huge to me. Amanda told me that if you want God to speak to you about the bigger things, then you have to be faithful and prove yourself to listen in the smaller things. Seriously feels like the best advice I've ever gotten.. I think about it everyday. If it's something new to you, try listening extra closely to see what God's asking you to do. Nothing ever blessed me as much in my entire life.
Also, it amazes me how often God is working in our surroundings, our friends, us, everything around us, to bring it all together later. It brings a whole new light to Romans 8:28 for me, you know? I've been speechless multiple times over the past few weeks. So crazy, yet makes perfect sense. Our God is a God who cares for each of us deeply and truly has a plan for our lives. Thank the Lord!
