Things are changing. Hopes and dreams I've had and thought of are blossoming to the surface. My heart...I've let myself damage my heart. Let myself be someone I'm not. Either for worldly gain or self-pleasure. But the love my Jesus has for me reaches far beyond any brokenness and pain.
God is always forming us, molding us into what he planned for us all along. And as to our allowing him to shape us...I'm sure it takes more times than necessary. But his love goes past our imperfections, goes through our hiccoughs and failings.
A new day though. Today is a new day. Today has all the possibilities of greatness. Whether we find ourselves in an office cubicle, in our homes with our children, or outside in a construction site...we can still walk in the fulness that God has for us.
These past few weeks for me, as I have said, has been somewhat of a roller coaster for me. Yet I feel like I am on the brink of grasping the tiniest bit of God's will for my life. This might include finally leaving the country like I have always dreamed, or staying in my own backyard knowing that God has all my best interests at hand.
In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps. Proverbs 16:9
Godspeed.

you can always stay in our backyard...
This is a wonderful piece of writing. You are right God is always shaping us and molding us. It is amazing what he can do when we put all of our trust in him. He knows what we desire in our hearts, and we may set our own goals in life, but he will determine what will really happen, and his plans are always greater than we could imagine. I have been struggling through a time of discouragement over the last few months, but I have also been learning and growing so much. God is good. Or as you would say God is gooooood. I enjoy reading what you have to say.
