This Bible verse spoke to me so much! Everything in my life that is going on right now is nothing like I had planned or envisioned for my future, in terms of school, my career path, my goals, and finding the man God has selected me to be with. But as I started drawing closer to the Lord, I noticed that my desires started changing, my goals and objectives in life began shifting… things that I considered priority before are slowly taking the back seat. As I started drawing closer to Him, my desires became focused and based on glorifying God with this life I have here on earth. I told the Lord that I was surrendering everything to Him and that I don’t care what career I end up in as long as I am doing minsitry work first and foremost. I also told God that I don’t care what man I marry as long as the man I marry is truly committed to the Lord and will serve the Lord with me; I asked the Lord to allow me, to enable me to rule out my fleshly desires in order that I may desire Him more, love Him more and seek Him more. In such a short amount of time within my prayers, the Lord has lead me to where I am now. Still in school, working part time but more involved in minsitry work as I prayed for and marrying the man I believe God has called me to be with (though I never expected I would marry him before)… But God has turnd my world around, turned it upside down, and alot of things in my life are not going as I had always thought and planned they would… But I am happy, content, at peace and most of all I trust the Lord with everything He has brought on my plate because my Lord knows me more than I know myself! He knows my capabilities, my strengths, my weaknesses and He knows me from the inside out. My God is good and faithful!!! Truly, the Lord directs His children’s steps, so I will just trust Him and not question Him.
