I have found my life to be
unexpected. Where I have thought I would
be, I am not. Arms lay bare. Quivers are empty. Yet, this is where I find myself trying to make sense of
it – the unexpected life. Seeking to learn to release the dreams that will never be – dreams that were mine
but apparently not His.
Unexpected, doesn't mean
unwanted. There is much in my life that
is worth the wanting. I have to learn to
leave and lean. Giving up and letting go
isn't the easy way but it appears to be what He desires.
Unexpected, doesn't mean
alone. He is with me. He is the strong and
mighty tower, where I can run to for my help. He is the heart to seek – the shoulder to lean on – the arms to wrap around – the catcher of my tears.

oh friend. my heart does go out to you. I don't know your situation completely but God does. and you are right..."He knows the plans he has for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you ...plans to give you a future and a HOPE."
ReplyDeleteI pray big HOPE for you sweet friend.
This is very nice and shows us faith in God is all it takes.
ReplyDeleteAnd even if your dreams are not his, it is maybe because he knows best and use the unexpected to show you there can be much to discover on things we don't master.
take care.
this really spoke to my heart today. life is indeed unexpected but then God shows up...
ReplyDeleteKelly, thanks for your kind words and prayer. With a BIG GOD comes BIG HOPE!
ReplyDeleteMarieHarmony, He does know best and I am learning - ever be it slowly - to rest and trust in Him.
Beth, He is always showing up at just the right times...or is it more likely that I finally see where He has always been!
I am always touched when I come by here.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and prayers,
