I recall a time when I was so hopeless..

I recall a time when I was so hopeless..

Life just exsisted and I felt it was just as good as it was going to get..
I was SO shattered and full of no self worth.. I lived my daily life with regret and I wanted a way out..

Slowly God started revealing His amazing plan but I didn’t realize it was Him.. My dreams filled my heart but I was far from feeling they would ever come into play..
One step at a time I kept walking..

Though the road was dark and lonely it brought me to a point where the bottom hit. What seemed like the end, became the beginning..
I gave my heart and life to Gods greater plan.. I look at that point now as the point where I came to life..
I believe God gives us dreams because He intends to help us reach them..
I’m not where I was.. but I know.. I’m not where I’m headed.. He had to change my heart before He could change where He wanted to direct me..
I’m still in the remodeling phase and He is still clearing out all the cobwebs of my broken heart..
Loads of prayer is leading me .. I had and still have to let go daily.. Surrender my days and my life to His greater plan..

I do see the pieces that used to cut become like beautiful stained glass windows that reflect beautiful light..
But what He does in our lives never happens over-night.. There is no hurry to God’s will.. We are striving for His greater purpose..
And though He is not finished with His great work.. I stand in anticipation..

He works His Good work to us that are called to His higher purpose..
I guess what I’m trying to say..
Is though we don’t feel like we have it..
We are not finished work..
He is working through us..
We need to stand back and stop getting in His way so He can have room to work..
He is going to make good to all that we failed at over and over..
Giving up isn’t a option..
What a love He has for us..
I stand in awe just how far I’ve come..
Every day is a good day to..
Let go and Let God..
