"Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart."
-Psalm 34:7
Recently I've really been learning the importance of humbly coming to Christ and making my relationship with him my top priority. I find it so easy to get distracted. I think that this new toy, possession, friend or guy could fill this God-shaped hole that remains in my heart. The Spanish chapter of my life is almost finished, and God is slowly turning the pages and revealing to me day by day what He wants me to learn during the rest of my time here. I don’t want to miss any bit of this amazing story, so that means I have to make the choice daily to look away from the distractions and keep my focus on God. I believe that God will give me the desires of my heart in time, but that will certainly not happen until I fully surrender those desires to Him. My plans have been torn up and scattered in the wind, which could potentially be something really devastating, but instead I am filled with peace, and I no longer have to worry about how things are going to turn out. I don’t know the future, and I need to stop trying to figure it out or make it happen before it’s time. I trust that God will provide in time, but most importantly, He wants to have a relationship with me. That is all I know, and that is what I hold on to.
