In the quiet,
He whispers, Leading the way.
In the stillness,
He murmurs, giving guidance.
In the unknown,
He directs, ordering the righteous along his path.
In the anguish,
He comforts, lightening the burden.
In the doubts,
He reassures, providing certainty and confidence.
In the chaos,
He brings peace, calming our hearts
In the confusion,
He brings clarity, realigning our thoughts.
In the waiting,
He orchestrates, bringing to pass each promise he made. (Joshua 21:45)

Sometimes all I wish is a clear picture of my life.
Just like a movie, I wish I could predict each scenario, phase, and outcome.
Thoughts battling in my head and wishing I could just get a glimpse of my future.
What will happen in the next minute, hours, or days.
I just want to know!
And as I begin to ruminate on my intentions;
I ask myself, why exactly do I want a clear picture of my life?
Why do I want to know the future right in the present?
And I realized, it is my selfish and never-ending wants.
The quest for a perfect life filled with zero mistakes
What fun is this?
What fun is in life with knowing the unknown before it happens?
Yes, it could do some good;
However, this teaches me to trust!
Not in my abilities, strengths, and past successes,
But trust in someone and something much greater than myself.
When I know it all, pride may consume me and then I’ll seize to trust in the one who made the universe.
I start playing god by manipulating my life to fit my desire and not his.
So I resolved within myself that I just have to trust in the only one who can give me peace in the unknown and give a clear picture of my life.
I don’t have to know!
However, just like David, I should be confident that “the Lord will work out his plans for my life – for his faithful love, endures forever.” (Psalms 138:8)

Today I am reminded of the ultimate price,
The price paid in pain for my freedom.
Many might ask why I find delight in being a Christ follower.
And I say, only if you knew the sacrifice of just a single man.
The blood shed, the wounds instilled, the bondages carried in form of a cross;
Just for me to have an inheritance in him.
To live with the assurance that beyond this life on earth, there is a home awaiting me.
A home filled with treasures, pain free, a crown of life, and an eternity of worship.
I look forward to this day.
But for now, I’ll be forever grateful for the ultimate price of love!
Happy Resurrection Day!
Tetelestaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
It is FINISHED.

My desire is to be in love again!
My heart has been through processes of aches and hurts
And I desire to love again!
Not in love with my success, wealth, fame, or applause.
Not even in love with a man
But with the creator of man!
My desire is to be his bride
And for him to be my bridegroom
To feast and dine with him
And let my soul intertwine with his.
Longing for a deep connection
That goes beyond the surface is my desire.
I long for a more intimate relationship
Of which I’ll know the depths of his heart
And I can forever dwell in his presence.
