He Already Knew
Hey friends, I just wanted to check in. I missed last week because a lot was going and has been going on in my life. I won’t get into too much detail now, but God has definitely been stirring up some things in me and I am doing my best to be sensitive to the changes that are occurring. I wrote to myself a couple of weeks ago that I feel like I’m in a weird season, which I’m sure many of us may feel the same. This year alone has brought about many unwanted changes and circumstances that may seem tough to bare, but I just want to encourage you all along with myself, that God already knew. He already knew you’d be where you are and He has a plan as well. So rest in that.
I know, it’s easier said than done, but I am a living testament that waiting on the Lord is the best option. It’s hard sometimes though, when you’re going through a tough time, and you may even question why or how am I suppose to get through this. But I tell you, things truly get better with time. One lesson I’ve learned recently, is being able to take responsibility for your role in where you are. What have you done or not done that you don’t feel accomplished? Who have you reached out to or have you brought a season of isolation on yourself by being silent? Or better yet, what prayer have you prayed that maybe you forgot you asked God to use you for His glory? Could this season just be a manifested prayer? (a question only you know the answer to)..
To some degree, we’re responsible for the things that are happening to us and we just have to remember that there’s a purpose for everything. And if you don’t see it now, I pray that the Lord will show it to you. Again, He already knew you’d be here. And if somehow you got here on your own, He’ll lead you back to where you need to be.
Just wait on and trust in the Lord.
Until next time . .
