God Moving on my Behalf: Life Update

Hello my wonderful readers, I hope you all are warm somewhere reading this or if you are somewhere warm, stay there!

Recently, my life has been a whirlwind of changes. Some of these being good, others are ones that were out of my control. After ending my internship last fall, I came into a lot more extra time that I didn't know what to do with. This resulted in me initially being lazy, a drastic increase in my senioritis, and me always spending money eating out (which is something I still need to work on.)  Also, during this time I started actually finding myself being more distant from God. Not because of the situations that were going on around me, but because I wasn't making my time with God a priority as much as I had been doing before. A lot of this was just from me putting my trust and energy in men that didn't understand my worth or just wanted to use me for negative personal gain.

I've been trying to give a lot more situations in my life to God, but it's honestly been hard. And it's odd because it's something I normally don't struggle with. With my wavering trust came distractions. These distractions came in the form of people, places, and things that had nothing to do with what I actually had to do. I admit, it's okay to have fun from time to time but it's only so far it can go before it gets tiring or you come back into reality.

I had to remember that not only are the goals that I have for myself high, but the plans that God has for me are greater than what I have to imagine so I can't just sit around, and wait for things to happen.

After coming to this realization, I begun researching a lot more opportunities for students looking to pursue the career field I'm interested in. This included summer programs, internships, scholarships, and the simple networking skills I used to connect with people who are already where I want to be. This process had so many dead-ends, shortcomings, and disappointments that weren't always anticipated but it made all the difference when I kept a positive attitude towards all of it. Now I'm winning scholarships, making connections in my future career field, and finding genuine happiness with myself again.

People always wonder how I get all these different opportunities or meeting this person-- it's just me networking (aka, planting a seed) , and letting God handle the rest.

If it's meant for me, it will come to pass. 

Now as I prepare for college, I'm realizing that trusting God on the situations that I have both knowledge and no knowledge of, do more good than harm for me. Not just trusting Him to handle it, but to move on my behalf & open doors that I can't open on my own. Everyone has their own methods & ways that they get their tasks situated**.

There's mine.



Always a pleasure sharing with you, thank you.
