Putting it on the shelf and moving on

After going through a roller coaster of emotions last week, my life is finally settling back to normal...well whatever normal is. My feelings will never change, but I need to move on because otherwise it isn't healthy. So, I'm picking up where I left off; however, I WILL not act like things never happened. I'm glad it happened because it allowed me to gain a better perspective on my life and my relationship with God.

Remember when I said I received confirmation regarding the situation? Well, what happened? I heard from God, right? I KNOW I heard from God. However, I realized that I may have tried to rush things in my own time. Talking to a friend yesterday, I was reminded of Proverbs 16:9.

"We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps."

Wow, this describes me. I realized I fantasized what my life would look like come September. However, none of it came to pass. So, now I am in the process of questioning my priorities. I have decided to take that confirmation and just put it on the shelf. Maybe it wasn't for this time; maybe it's for a year from now; or maybe I'll find out that I misinterpreted it. I don't know exactly what God's plan is for my life, but I have to trust that His plan is perfect. I'm super excited to see how He's going to work in my life. I can't wait for this next chapter!
