Happy September 8th and a Happy 8th Day of my Month-Long Blogging Challenge to all of you lovely individuals! Thank you for stopping by to give today's post a read, it means so very much to me! I would love for you to SUBSCRIBE by selecting the "SUBSCRIBE FOR UPDATES" button up above, so that we can keep up with one another once I launch in less than a month! If you have missed any of my other posts from the past couple of days I would love for you to give them a read once you finish up with this one!
I don't know what's coming next. I don't know what my future holds. I don't know what tomorrow will bring. My life is full of many uncertainties and I used to let that terrify me. I feared that I would make a mistake. I feared the unknown, the unplanned, the unanswered. I feared that I would make a wrong move that would impact and define the rest of my life.
I've come to believe though that maybe, just maybe, there isn't such a thing as the "right move." My life isn't defined by that which is "right" or "wrong." My life isn't a rigid constraint of this or that, black or white, yes or no. Life isn't that simple, my life or anyone else's. Life isn't something that we're meant to fully understand or be able to perfectly grasp the concept of. We don't have the right to limit life, set boundaries on it, or place it inside of a box. Life is messy, ever-changing, creative, vibrant, beautiful, and inspiring.
Fear is limiting. My life in Christ is limitless. I will NOT be afraid.
Anxiety is debilitating. My life is delighted over. I will NOT be anxious.
Shame is heavy. My life is healed, so I will NOT be ashamed of my past.
And no, I don't know what the future holds, but because I know who holds my future I have no need to fear. My God guides my steps. My Papa has placed me in a position of power and authority. I may mess-up, I may make mistakes along the way, but He uses all of it in the beautifully, messy story that is my life. It's exciting and so incredibly freeing to know that all I have to do is sit back and let the author muse over my story. I am but a pencil in His mighty, mighty hand. My story ebbs and flows; there are ups and downs, heartbreaks and triumphs. Some parts are devastating, other parts will leave you laughing, but ultimately I pray that the story of my life will be seen as that of a love story.
God has poured so much love into me so that I may return it to all those He places in my path. He's sending me out into the world to be love, His love. So yeah, my story is most definitely a love story because it tells the story of Him. So today, tomorrow and for the rest of my days I’m choosing to embrace the uncertainty, go with the flow, and trusting that my Papa has a perfect plan for what’s coming next in my life!
So dont be afraid of what tomorrow may bring. Rest easy knowing that you don’t have to have everything all figured out! You don’t have to have ”a plan.” Let God be your guide because if He is your compass and your true north, He’ll always lead you where you’re meant to go! Love you friends, thank you for stopping by to read what God laid on my heart today!
