I know I am not the only one in my life who feels lost at times. We have all been there, and a lot of us are there at this very moment. Guess what? I am the one that feels lost right now.
We all feel as if life is falling apart, as if things aren't going the way we want, as if we try so hard for things, and it seems like it goes nowhere... like we are stuck and want to completely fall apart... and honestly, give up. Now if you're like me, you ask God, "Why? Why is this happening to me?" I know I'm not the only one.
As my wedding approaches, I'm having to search for jobs. And I will be the first to tell you, it has been hard. It has been frustrating and tiring... especially when you have no experience outside of working with children. I have felt like I have continuously tried and tried, and I feel like giving up.
Until tonight, October 31, 2020.
In the past week, I have been reminded of something... do not give up. I have had many people say, "It's going to be okay.", "God has you where He wants you.", "It will happen when it's supposed to." And you know what? They're right. God has me where He wants me. I've been frustrated and upset for the past month because nothing has seemed to go my way with the job searching but guess what? IT'S OKAY.
I received a sweet and precious gift from a sweet and precious friend. It was a cute coffee cup that says, "Be still and know." (Psalms 46:10).
So, what exactly does that mean? It literally means to be still and know that GOD is in control. To know that God has a plan for you. To know that His plans are most likely not our plans even when we don't believe it.
All I am saying is be still... in the good times, and in the bad times. I promise everything will be okay. God works everything for HIS good, not ours.
And when you listen to God when He speaks, mountains will be moved... promise.
