"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."
Romans 8:28
"You make all things work together for my good." -Your Love Never Fails by Jesus Culture Feat. Chris Quilala
God has been using this verse and this song the last two and a half weeks to reassure me that He has everything under control, and that whatever obstacles I face, I will come out better for the glory of God than when I was introduced to it.
God is in the process of transforming me with this idea.
I am being forced to look at my heart to see if I trust God enough to believe this.
I am having to decide if I believe this enough to live it.
I was once told "There are new depths to walk into. Depths of God, who He is, His spirit. But the deeper you go, the less you can take with you, surrendering everything."
I feel God is asking me to follow Him into these new depths, and He is asking me to surrender my expectations. Expectations of what I think I need to do, of what I think my relationship with God needs to look like, of what I think my future needs to hold. He is asking me to believe that He will make all things work together for my good, to believe that He will see me through to the end, and to believe that I can throw my back-up plans out the window.
This is absolutely terrifying. But I have decided I believe that God makes all things work together for my good. I have decided I believe it enough to start living it.
This is a new chapter in my life. I don't know what it looks like yet, but I am excited to see where God takes me.

Love you Kiersten! You are growing so much! You are a strong woman. Remember when Jackie first told you that, and you were so excited?
