Good morning beautiful people! #hugesmiles...hope 2014 is going good so far? Yes yes? Well I've been thinking alot about how I want this year to be for me spiritually. Every week, month and year I strive to grow in my faith. I fear becoming stagnant, not growing in the way God wants me to. It is my deep desire to let God's will in my life be fulfilled. But it's hard sometimes to see what God is tryna show you or to understand his ways.
But his ways are perfect and the plans he has for our lives are magnificent and more amazing than any dream we could have for ourselves, our futures.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, "declares the lord", plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.
My testimony
This verse always encourages me to look away from my circumstances and focus on the cross.
I remember when I finished my final year of high school with a box of distinctions waiting to be accepted in medical school. Well, to cut a long story short, I wasn't accepted in any of the universities I applied to. But my marks were absolutely on point. Confused, sad and hurt, I took a gap year to rethink grow and rest. In human eyes, I was a failure! Im sure many people were disappointed in me. I was too. But God had his own plans for my future. During my gap year I did alot of soul searching and seeking of God's face. Since I couldn't understand where my life was heading, I surrendered it to God to do as he pleased.
Well to cut a long story short AGAIN!....im presently in my second year, doing a Bachelors degree in Dietetics. And im honestly really enjoying it!!! I've come to love it even more than the medicine I've been wanting to do. I told my dad, I'd choose dietetics over medicine anyday! I guess God knew my heart best. I'll still end up working in hospital but its alot less stressful with less pressure than medicine. And it takes less time to do...and I get to talk about FOODDDD! Yeshhhhhh. Im happy.
So God is my pilot at the moment and although I don't understand what's going on sometimes, im gonna LetGo & LetGod. Cause he knows wassup (^_^)
Make 2014 the year in which you and God sort your problems out together!
Have you got your own experience of Gods perfect plan and timing? I'd love to read guys!
Kissses
Thandi
