A Glimpse into my Heart

Today I am going to share a little about what God has put on my heart these past few days. Yesterday morning I started my day off by watching a sermon entitled "Be who God made you to be", I have heard that said to me many times throughout my life, but yesterday it was something that I needed to hear a little more. My personal prayer since I have been here is that I would be listening and waiting for God to reveal His plan for me, and I have struggled because God's timing isn't my timing and it is scary to not know the future. In the sermon he said "We should follow God because He is a God who never disappoints. That is so true. If we are longing and searching for His will to be done and not ours, then we will never be disappointed. Our God uses people who are at work, not people sitting around thinking about work, so we should actively use what God has given us and not attempt to be someone that we're not. We cannot live our lives in comparison, because God made each of us perfect in our own ways, so we should use our uniqueness to glorify Him in everything we do. Then, last night I read a post that was such an encouragement to me after the message that I heard yesterday morning. In short, the post said "How do you know what God is calling you to do?" and at the bottom of the post it said "Be still. Have faith. Trust. God will reveal." Wow. God has much bigger plans than I could ever think of or see. I can't waste my time trying to figure them out on my own, or make my own plans when I can put my faith solely in Him because God's got this 100% even when I don't think. Psalm 46:10 says "Be still and know that I am with you" I think that is my verse of the week this week, because I know that God is with my every step of the way and I will never be alone in my journey. That is just a little bit as to what has been on my heart the past couple of days, now I am officially at the 5 week mark of my journey, so now the countdown begins...4 more weeks until I leave this beautiful country and make my way back to the states. I know for a fact that these next four weeks God will move in ways I never imagined, and I can't wait to see what they hold.
