As I filled up the last page of my prayer journal tonight I began to flip back through the pages. I began writing in this book back in November of 2008. My mind began to replay the events that have taken place in my life since that date. So many ups and downs, lots of decisions made and some very average days too. Full time school to now having a full time job! Singleness, to relationship, to singleness again. Taking care of my mother in the hospital to creating my own life and home away from home. All of this is part of growing up... but it's a huge part of life! I choose to look at it as a learning process. The Lord orchestrating each event and showing me how He plans to use it for His glory.
I am ending this book and beginning a new book. I am closing a chapter and God is starting to write the next chapter. He is going to show me what's next... I'm SO EXCITED to see where He will lead me next. I never thought in my wildest imagination would I ever experience such incredible, challenging, exciting, restoring and surprising things in my life. But of course, because my God is bigger and able to do far more than anyone can imagine. So BRING IT ON! I'm ready, the Lord is on my side!
Prayer journals are so awesome. I wish I was better about journaling. I always start with good intentions, and then drop off after a short period of time. But I know how valuable it is to do it, and to have those posts to read back on, years later, so that you can see the hand of God at work in your life. This post is challenging me to start again. Thanks!
