What if Grace is really all you had? We wake every day with ready made plans...ideas, thoughts and actions of where we are going, what we are doing and how we perceive our day should go. But what happens when a wrench gets thrown in that? Do we submit to our Father and trust that His ways are better even when it may not be what we imagined or dreamed? I started on a journey 4 years ago, a trust journey, with my Father and told Him I would trust and obey. Those can be dangerous words I assure you. To fully put all faith in someone is scary and fearful at times because as humans we want our independence. Obedience can be just as brutal at times too. To go against our sin nature and choose Gods ways above mans ways will always be one of the hardest things we ever teach ourselves to do. It means forgiving those that hurt us. It means loving those that may be unlovable at times. It means having to pick up our cross daily to lead by Jesus’ example and love like He loves. It means trusting that His plans may not always be our plans. I can say that I have felt in my heart that God wants me in ministry; sharing His gospel, singing His praises, loving the broken and offering them hope. But what if that isn’t the life He has chosen for me? What if I could never sing again, or if I awoke tomorrow morning and all I had was Him? Would He really be enough? Can I stand in the storm, firm and grounded, knowing that no matter what chaos may surround me, that I cannot be shaken??? He indeed is taking me to deeper waters......and I pray that my trust is without borders whatever that may look like.
