He is Enough

He is Enough.  Life has many unexpected turns and events. So many times in my life I have made plans and tried to figure things out on my own and it usually almost always ends up differently than I plan.  Gods plans are so much better and I have learned to trust that he knows what he's doing.  It may not always seem  very orderly or what you think it should be, but there is always purpose to everything He does.  I have learned so much over this past year what it really looks like to trust God and trust His plan for my life.  Yes, there have been many times that were challenging and frustrating, and I questioned him, but it was through all of that which brought me to the place I'm at today.  I always say that if there's a sense of peace then you are in the right place, or that's how it is for me.  That's what happened recently to me.  I was planning on staying in California over the summer and was just looking for jobs and such, but as I began moving forward in that direction I didn't have any peace.  I began to get more anxious and confused.  I "felt " like that is what I was supposed to do, but I think I was just trying to avoid what I felt like God wanted me for do and that was go back to South Dakota for the summer, and not knowing what came after that.  When I got clarity of what I should do, I had complete peace.  It didn't make sense to me at all, and the thing I had been avoiding and didn't want to do, was something that I was super excited about and anticipated great things that God was going to do. Although I still don't fully understand, and I have really know clue what is next.  I simply am learning to rest and trust, and be content in the season that I am.  Be fully present and be fully where God has called me.  I don't know for how long or what it will all look like but I am learning to take it one day at a time, and not try to "plan" ahead, but just enjoy.  God has a purpose for everything and he doesn't waste anything.  So for right now.  He is enough for me.  His plans, his purposes, where he has me...I don't have anything if I don't have him.  I desire to know him so much more. To not be complacent or stagnant in my faith.  There is so much to be discovered.  I feel like this past year God did so much in my heart and it wasn't meant to just stay in California, but I know that God has so much more for me here in South Dakota and I can bring those things here.  I have everything if I have him.  So here's to new beginnings, new seasons.  Here's to starting fresh and to walking in the promises of God.  Trusting that each step is a step of faith and trusting hat he is leading me.  For with him I can do anything.  He lives inside me and he will accomplish all his purpose in me.  As I fix my eyes on him and find my purpose and strength in him he will lead me.  He will never lead me astray.  He is more than enough and that is enough for me.
