season change.

the Lord is sovereign, this I truly believe. 


many of you who have read previous blog posts are aware of some of the roads the Lord has led me down this past year. He has taught me so incredibly much about depending on Him and allowing Him to be my first love. Before this season of singleness, I don't believe I knew Him as my first love, my lover and my Prince. I'm pretty sure I just loved Jesus for what He did for me and not who He is. But man, over this past year and a half He has truly shown me my depravity without Him, need for Him and the beauty of His grace! 


I have been at a place of comfort within my singleness for a while. I went through a pruning phase (John 15) in February where the Lord brought me to a place of letting go of my need for attention. He has taught (and is teaching) me to be content in Him and Him alone, my all-sufficient Savior. Part of me thought that this season would never end...I began to get really comfortable and confident in being single. 


and bammm.


God seriously knocked me off my feet and has challenged me in such a different way this past month. 


the Lord provided a boy to pursue and care for me, lead me closer to Him and keep me on my toes. 


and before I knew it, my season had changed. 


praise the Lord for a plan that's bigger than mine. because i didn't exactly picture myself having a boyfriend three days before I head to North Carolina for two and a half months. 


but. He knew all along. and His plan is good. and He is faithful. and praise the Lord that He allows us to participate in relationship with one another, because it's a beautiful picture of grace. 


good night to all.
