It changes with the seasons,
Even your coldest winter,
happens for the best of reasons,
And though it feels eternal,
Like all you’ll ever do is freeze,
I promise spring is coming,
And with it, brand new leaves

I Don't Know
You know... I really don't know. I don't know how I'm going to pay my next bill. I don't know what my tomorrow would look like and as I lay in my bed depressed and saddened that my life didn't "look" the way I wanted...I felt hopeless. I started to pray and God immediately began to remind me in my heart of who He is and His word.
Philippians 1:6 - Being confident in this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.
2 Samuel 7:28 - And now, O Lord God, You are my God, and Your words are true, and You have promised this goodness to your servant.
NTS: Just remember that God will never leave you. Trust in who He says He is. His words are true. Declare it everyday that God is good all the time and His plans for you are always for your good. Trust in Him even though you don't see the promise yet. It will be ok... It will be more than ok. It will be amazing.

Waiting
1 Corinthians 13:4
Love suffers long
God is taking me on this journey and through this season of waiting. It's honestly been one of the hardest seasons I've ever had to ensure (but I feel like I would say that every time I'm going through a difficult season). Learning how to wait to marry E, for that perfect job, for my dream. It's been rough. I know we can all relate to wanting things so bad it feels like torture having to wait for them. God not only wants me to learn how to wait on His timing, but He wants me to wait in peace and with true patience. Waiting while complaining and moaning about life definitely isn't what He wants me to learn. To be the woman who can wait and still smile and see the good in everything I don't have everything I want yet and that's ok.
I need to learn how to be ok with whatever God gives me and see the beauty in the world around me every single day.
Thank You God for your love and your kindness. Thank you God for everything you have done for me and everything I know you are doing for me. Help me to see that the plans you have for me are even greater than I can ever imagine. Help me to see the beauty in all that You are
1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18
Pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you
Psalms 34:1
I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
NTS: There's just so much to be happy about and so much to be grateful about. Thank Jesus everyday and learn to be grateful and appreciate everything He Has blessed you with. Be positive, be kind and stop complaining about what you don't have. Focus on Jesus, keep your eyes on Jesus even when the waves are crashing all around you. Seek Him first and go after God's heart. Everything else will be added unto you
