Is it just me or does everyone feel shocked when they grow up and find that not all that you had planned for yourself actually happens? That most of our adult lives are spent winging it. Seriously, there's no handbook for marriage, no step by step guide to parenting, careers come with a lot of time and work. Jobs change, people change, plans change, the economy changes!
And here I am. An adult. And I struggle still with the thought of change. Even when it's a good thing. I get quiet, like I'm waiting for the wave to come just a little closer before I have to take a deep breath to save myself from drowning under its force. Sometimes those waves look so big coming toward me. I think to myself, this is the one that will do me in for sure! But as it gets closer, often times it gets smaller. Yet as many times as I've survived the waves... I still find myself hesitant when I see one in the distance. I can continue to do what comes natural, get quiet and doubt; or I can ask God to create a heart in me that is quiet and trusts Him.
My hearts desire:
When the ocean's rise and thunders roar...
I will soar with you above the storm.
Father, you are king over the flood.
I will be still AND know you are God!
Find rest my soul...
In Christ Alone.
Know His power...
In quietness and trust!
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. - Jeremiah 29:11
