As humans it's only natural for us to want others in our lives. We crave relationships and desire to be close to those around us. We long for romance and we're in constant search of friendship. In fact if we really look at how much of our lives we spend searching it's kind of insane. On the flip side we enter seasons of confusion, seasons of self growth and in the end seasons of purpose. It's interesting that sometimes in these seasons the main focus shouldn't be searching so much the world for those people and those relationships, rather searching our own hearts. Searching ourselves to learn how to wake up alone in the morning, how to be content when no one else is around. How to be alone and realize that being alone is truly okay. It can be daunting especially for those who are used to constant companionship. Figuring out who you are alone can seem to be one of the steepest mountains you have yet to face. I want to encourage you that every season in our lives does have a purpose and as hard as it is to see it now, each season will grow you as a person. There is something in your life God is working to accomplish now even if you feel as though your more lost then you've ever been before. While you may be lost, God is not. Search yourself, take time to learn who you are in this season and who you want to become in the future, knowing yourself is as much of a relationship as any other and it takes work and time. So take the time and work on yourself and allow God to work in you.
There have been several topics on my mind and heart the last week. So I pray right now that God present them here the way he wants them written and understood. One topic I'm sure I've touched on before is uncertainty, however I feel it is more relevant now than possibly ever. In this world the only certainty we havw perhaps is uncertainty, key words here; this world. As I've mulled this topic over in my mind a couple things have become clear: -uncertainty forces growth of faith. -community and relationships are of utmost importance. -In an uncertain world and constantly uncertain times, we as humans need Jesus, our rock and savior more then ever before. -Lastly (for now) we need to be building our boats to withstand rough waters every day even as the water is still so that when the inevitable tsunami hits, the storm of life won't wash us away. This analogy sums up most of the main points, together with those whom we are building relationships, we should be building...
