I am so happy that I was blessed to see yet another year. My birthdays now have a new meaning and a new significance. After time passes in my life I often reflect on the many people that did not have the opportunity to live, see, and experience what I have thus far. When I awoke on my birthday I felt newness and a joy that I have never experienced before. I feel as though every year that passes God gives me another light. When I say that I mean that God allows me to see things in a different light. If we are open to gaining knowledge and wisdom he delights in giving us just that. It is ours for the taking. So as I reflect I am very amazed at the progress that I have made and the things I have learned and discovered. I know I have worked hard but first and foremost I must give credit where credit is due. God has been the one to lead me down the right path. He opened all the doors for me and I knew that I needed to walk through every door he opened. Looking back, walking through those open doors was not always an easy thing. At times we all have own agenda (most of the times. lol) which can often cause us to question what moves should be made next. I have to remind myself that I will not always understand why I must do certain things and that makes it even more difficult.
It’s tough to be separated from the crowd and walk in a different direction. All the explanations and justification can be exhausting as well as overwhelming until it is discovered that explanations are not necessary. We might feel like it is our duty to explain and justify why we do things a little differently but it is not. When you are called to walk down that distant road you must keep in mind the big picture. When I feel a little different or out of place I just tell myself (and sometimes others) “my path is my path” I have to do this my own way which is the way that God has lead me to do them. It is tough but that in itself is victory. Working towards a divine purpose and a higher calling, much higher than we can even comprehend. So now I sit here at 29 and I am trying to take it all in, (deep breathe) Whoo…words cannot comprehend. I am blessed, I am happy, I have been transformed and I will never be the same.
Romans 8:28:28We are assured and know that [[a] God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.
Proverbs 3:5,65Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.
6In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
