Nuggets of Truth

The Lord has brought me to this place.
I am where I am by the grace of God, just as much as I am who I am because of His grace.

It would be easy, and some days is, to try and look into the future to see just how everything
is going to turn out. It think it's only human to want to exert some kind of power over the situation and want some say so in how things happen. Truth is though, we don't get a say.

God is up to something and not just in the world. He's up to something in my life. And I can either enjoy the process or try and change things I have no control over. He has placed me in situations and surrounded me with amazing people for a reason. Who am I to try and figure out just what He is doing and why?

So, for the time being I think I'll just enjoy it all. I am going to embrace each situation and circumstance for what it is: an opportunity to learn more about myself and learn more about Jesus. And I am going to relish each opportunity I get to spend time with all of the amazing friends and family He has so graciously placed in my life.

I'm giving up control and just living my life. And you know what? That's the best way to live.
There's peace and freedom there. Who knew!?!?!
