Good day to all of my lovely readers!
It has been quite a while since I was last with you and my has so much changed! You may have noticed (or you may not) that my last name changed! Yes! I married my GREATER!! Quite the update, right? God is so faithful. All we have to do is trust His plan! Even when it is hard to see how everything will work out, keeping the faith and keeping your eyes on Him will always pay off for the very best!
Two years ago, I was in a place of despair and devastation. Today, God has shown me so much about why I had to go through what I went through. Like I've said a number of times before, we don't go through the things we go through for ourselves. There is always someone else who needs our guidance.
God is so intentional in the way He does things. To give you a little back story, I met my husband four years ago. I was dating the man who cheated on my and tore my heart to pieces. I was so in love with that guy (or at least I thought I was) that it would have never crossed my mind to have an interest in my now husband. He was also attached at the time and little did we both know, we'd both experience a heart break we'd never expect and be reunited years later to get to know one another on a completely different level than where we were when we first met. Long story short, four years later, after much prayer and some life changes, we are now connected as one and moving forward in our marriage with God at the center!
I gave that little snippet of our story to show that God always has a bigger picture that we cannot always see until we take a step back from it all and allow Him to work out his master plan! This is a shorter post today but I just want you to take the time, not to become so consumed with how much it hurts, how bad you want it to be over, how you cannot believe this has happened to you; and begin to get excited about the bigger picture God will reveal to you. Expect that which is good! Fight the thoughts of negativity and things that are not true. Philippians 4:8 is a good scripture to meditate on when the thoughts of "what's wrong with me" or "why me" begin to creep in. You are chosen for a reason and it's not a punishment! The hardest fall sets you up for the highest bounce back!
Get ready to bounce back but while you have the chance to experience the set back, pay closer attention to what is happening, how it is happening, and once you complete the process and move forward you will see the BIGGER picture! Your GREATER is coming and once it gets to you, take the time to recognize how it all worked together! Stay encouraged, keep moving forward, and get ready to see #TheBiggerPicture!
