Ever Wonder?

Have you ever wondered what God is doing? I am in that place right now. It is interesting because I am so peaceful in my life. I know that God is working, I just have no clue what he is doing. It is an interesting place, a good place, but an interesting place. A few weeks ago I was so unsettled, emotional and confused about what God was doing. I was missing family, friends and other people who were once a big part of my life. God provided peace though in an amazing way. He allowed me to let go of what I was holding onto, release and learn.

John 14:27 says, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." I read this a couple of weeks ago, actually right after the event that allowed me to let go. I have learned so much from this simple passage. It is funny how a few sentences can change your entire way of thinking and affect you in ways that you never imagined.

Peace has overcome me. I know that God has a plan and a purpose and that I don't need to be afraid or worry, he is bigger than all of those things, things that I can't even control. It's funny how when you let go new things happen, new people come into your life and things seem to just work out for a reason. I still don't know the reason and have stopped trying to figure out the big picture. I am here and now and letting God take control. I am excited about new things and people in my life, what God is doing and where he is going to take me and how he is going to use me.
