I was reading a little sketch-journal that I started about a year ago and it hit me how much God has moved in my life in the past year. The person who wrote in that book is not the same person that is typing this today. While it is interesting to note that I am still struggling with many of the same insecurities and doubts, God has brought healing into my life that I would have never thought possible last year. Those entries are full of so much hurt and wondering what purpose existed in my life, it is such a blessing to be able to look back on them now and see how faithful God is and how much His love has transformed my life. It is so exciting to be able to say that I am a different person and that it is only through the grace of God that I am able to say that with confidence. His presence in my life has never been more evident than in the past twelve months and I guess that it is just now hitting me what that really means and why it is so important. I am at an age where the decisions I'm making will have a lasting impact on my future, and it is such a comforting thought to realize that whatever I do will be with God's will in mind and in accordance with His plan for my life. For the first time in my life I am completely content to have no control over whatever He has for my future. While there are definitely times when I doubt my ability to discern that plan, I always know that it is there and that He will be guiding me every step of the way, no matter what.
Praise God for His influence and transforming love!
