Moving on is hard... Change is hard... Losing friends is hard...
I am in a season of hard things. And as much as I would like to just wallow in self pity, I know without a doubt that God is good. That Jesus came for the broken hearted (Isaiah 61:1-7). That God has made promises to us that he intends to keep (Romans 8:28). And that He has a plan for our lives and that is to prosper us and not to harm (Jeremiah 29:11). Knowing that the King of Kings loves me and has a plan for my life that is so much greater than my own makes everything I do for Him worth it! But it does not make it easy by any means.
In all of this God continues to show me the growth He has had in my life. Several months ago I would have had a completely different reaction to everything that is happening in my life. I would have been so willing to stay with the way things were even if the situation was awful. And I would have argued with God and anyone who was wanting to tell me that there was something better for me.
For the first time in my life I am wholly devoted to my Lord. And I am realizing that that requires a lot of change and moving on..... So here I am God! Wholly devoted to whatever you are calling me to. I know it is not going to be easy. I know that you are going to require more of me than I would like at times. But here I am. Mold me and shape me into the woman you want me to be. Create in me a pure heart that is consecrated to you. No more of me making my own plans. Move my feet to where you want me to be.
But most importantly, use me as a vessel for your glory.
