In the last week, I have just felt led to become involved in ways that are completely outside my comfort zone. I stepped out in faith and joined a class called Financial Peace University where I am learning to budget my money and pay off my student loans in a way that is completely honoring to God. I also joined a house church for the first time this week where I get to live out community with the people around me.
It's not the nature of the things themselves that are out of my comfort zone, it's the fact that I chose to do these things on my own, going without people I know. I felt the Lord leading me to do these things and to just step out in faith, trusting that He knows what He is doing and where He is leading me.
I am learning more and more during this season what it means to have faith in the Lord, to have faith that He will provide, that He will comfort me, that He knows what's best for me. While this is difficult (because I am a control freak and I want to always be in charge of what I am doing with my life), I have had such peace about everything that has happened to me in the last four months. God has provided me with strength to endure every hardship, every triumph, every single, individual moment of my life.
And you know what I am realizing, He ALWAYS provides those things for us.
Tonight as I was driving home, I heard a new song by Plumb come on called Lord, I'm Ready Now (click here to listen). I just felt so incredibly moved by this song. I realized that because I've learned to trust Him and to put my faith in His plan for me, that now I'm ready to move forward with whatever He has for me! I thought this song was such a great way to express my desire to follow Him and my way of proclaiming that I'm ready now!
