Welcome to my blog!
This is my story of the past year
With so many new doors opening and opportunities coming in my life
I needed a place to write my thoughts down
I gave my heart to Christ when I was 13 and been truly blessed with an amazing, very safe life
But I was not living a life surrendered to the Lord
After years of trying to plan out my own life, my own way
I was exhausted, unsatisfied with where my life was going
I was looking and wanting more
I prayed that the Lord would show me His will for my life
Show me how He wants to use me for His kingdom-not mine
It has been a year since I decided to fully surrender my life to the Lord
To just let go...
Fully surrender
Search farther
Believe deeper
Trust more
Dream bigger
I haven't done anything extravagant by the worlds standards
In fact, being on this journey of "finding myself" God has turned my world upside down
I have lost more of myself then I dared believed
but found The One where my true identify lies
We serve a big God so shouldn't our dreams be just as big?
He has placed big dreams, goals and passions on my heart I never thought possible
I finally decided to just let go and let God take over
Yes, there are some many days when I try and take control again
and God quickly reminds me He is in charge
I am discovering over and over His plan is WAY better than mine
When we finally believe that we were created by God and for God
When we finally decide to surrender to His Will
He places us on the ride of our lives...
...And that is a ride I want to be on forever
