AMEN! Nothing seems more true to me for these last two weeks.
I had planned my future to some degree, and the Lord has been placing it on my heart that my plan wasn't his plan. Ouch. Not always easy to hear, and it did take some serious convincing, but he didn't give up on me! I had to let go of one of the most important people in my life, I had to abandon a life I pictured, and I had to give up complacency and comfort. However, through the pain and the heartache, God has been SO gracious!
Gracious through my family and the healing time I was able to spend with my sisters!
Gracious through friends who are always there to listen and speak truth in my life! I cannot even describe the blessing they are to me and how greatly God uses them in my life!
Gracious through a week long break beginning today! Spring break! I have always looked forward to it, who wouldn't want a week out of school, but I had no idea how much I was going to need it. A chance to get away from drama, conflict, and school! A time to spend in solitude with my family and with my Lord. I am beyond excited for some peace and quiet. I have jokingly told people that I am not going to speak to anyone all week. Which is probably impossible for me, but in reality that is my aim. To be quiet and just listen.
I want to listen to God, hear his truth and his guidance. He is taking me to great places, and I cannot wait to see what lies ahead! He is restoring my heart and showing me what it means to walk in intimacy with Him. He is giving me dreams to be excited about and passions that are limitless! It isn't easy to be pruned, but there is a peace in it all. Peace that I am not in control, but He is holding me graciously in His hands! Thank you, Lord!
I pray for more peace in this situation. That He will heal hearts, and show more and more of himself in all situations! I have no doubt that either will happen at just the right time!

anxious to hear about how God is working in your heart/life! A trip to Lake Whitney might be nice for us this week... definitely a quiet place. Hope we can carve out a couple of days maybe to do that! Love you, baby girl!!
Love you sister. God is doing a "new thing in you" as it says in Isaiah. Can't wait to watch it unfold. Hope I get to see you this week too! (But, I do know the feeling of wanting to be quiet and not talk... :)
Happy Spring Break!!
