My husband and I just purchased a new home and while seeing our house felt very exciting, it also felt very scary. As I took a moment to reflect on my past, I just couldn’t believe that this is my life. The past month has been so busy and it’s been hard to see the end in sight. But by taking a moment to reflect, I can say with confidence that I would not be where I am today without God’s love, patience and guidance.
This month, I am starting a new chapter in my life – one that is filled with a lot of unknowns. I know in these times I have to trust God and just let Him direct my steps. No matter where we are in life, God is ready to meet us. When you start to fully trust in God, He will change your life! I can without a doubt say that God changed my life for the better. As I think back on my past, I realize the depression, anxiety, insecurities, sexual abuse, etc. do not define me. The good and bad experiences I went through are all a part of my story.
When you are going through tough, stressful times it’s hard to understand what God is trying to do, but it’s in these times He wants us to seek and trust Him more! I am the person I am today because of my past and my life is truly testament to the grace of God. I give all the thanks and glory to Him! I am a completely different person because I’m learning to trust Him fully. I’m excited to see what the future has for Griffin and I and I can’t wait to share that with everyone.
As I end this post, I’ll leave you with this song that really spoke to me about letting the pain of the past go and trusting God. I pray that you continue to seek God more and trust Him more with your life and your decisions. I promise you that He will change your life… He’s just waiting for you.
If you could let the pain of the past go
Of your soul
None of this is in your control
If you could only let your guard down
You could learn to trust me somehow
