Beginning and ending journeys

My God is simply amazing. It is so awesome to be able to look back and even forward at what all He has done, will do and where He is leading.God has taken me on quite an adventure over the last few years, one of which most of my friends even family do  not even know the full story.

One thing I can say for certainty that my God has a plan( Jeremiah 29:11) that He will continue to do a good work in me(Romans 8:28). I can reflect now on all those times past when I wondered why was God allowing all of "this" to happen. I can remember times when the pain was so deep, so great that I thought I can't do "this" any more. I remember times on my knees before my God praying, sometimes begging Him to make "this" all better. But sometimes, no all the time God knows what is best for me. Even though I can not see it at time nor may I ever, I must trust that He knows what is best for me.

Now that I am through alot of the "this" in my life I can say I understand some of the whys. It does not make the hurt any less or the struggles any easier. Although it does seem to somehow make it  a little sweeter. See now I can get a glimpse from the other side of the "this" in my life.Now don't think that

 I have it all together because I don't. I am not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. I still struggle with many things. BUT I know that no matter what my God will see me through it,every last step. He has been so faithful in my life.

So I am now getting ready in 7 short days to start this newest journey in my life, college. I am so excited about it, I feel like a little school girl. My kids tell me how silly I am for getting so excited about something so mundane as school. I don't think it is the process of school that has me excited,but more of the process that got me to school. If only you new how much work God has accomplished you would be giddy with excitement too!

Looking forward to watching God at work!
