Trusting in Gods Plan for you.

 


 There are times  if I am being honest where I have struggled to trust Gods plan for me. To trust in him and understand that everything that is happening in my life is all part of a bigger plan , a bigger purpose.  I truly believe that this happens to the best of us at some point in our lives and so I wanted to write a blog about it. 
We all have plans right. Whether  that be what career path we want to go down, travelling to a new country, going to study at University , starting a family etc.
We tend to plan out our lives in such detail but then when something happens and our plans collapse and go wrong, suddenly we are faced with fear of the unknown and frustration that things didn’t go our way and so we turn our backs from God, upset with him for not giving us what we wanted . We then find it easier to give in to worldly temptations as a way of coping.
Yet , we need to remind ourselves that it is God who has the ultimate plan for our life not us . God knows what will happen in our life, where  we will go , what we will do . Ultimately he knows our purpose here. Therefore, when things go wrong in our lives , when things don’t turn out the way you expected them to or people leave your life unexpectedly just know there is a greater reason for it . A greater purpose. “ For I know the plans I have for you” Declares the Lord “ Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future”( Jeremiah 29:11). 
God does not want to see you suffering or anxious about your life.Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us to “ Trust in the lord with all your heart and lead not on your own understanding , in all your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight”.
I feel like now more than ever that is most vital, when things haven’t gone the way I expected them to and maybe this is likewise for you, we need to  put all our trust in the Lord and understand that the things that didn’t work out , the people who left our lives and the plans we had which collapsed  around us happened because God had a greater purpose for us. He sees a greater future for us and those things in our lives were blocking us from reaching something so much better.
God has something SO much better for us. I mean how many times has that already happened in our pasts where we thought we wanted one thing and it never ends up happening but we were so glad because it led to something so much better.I know it has happened to me a number of  times. Not just the plans we had either also the people in our lives. When someone leaves who we thought was going to be in our life for much longer we can know that God already has someone else to bring into your life. 

If there’s one thing I have learnt throughout my life it’s this, Gods plan will always be better than my own . I have seen it through so many different aspects of my life God always provides me with exactly what I need even when I don’t know I need it . I am and always have been a firm believer in everything happens for a reason in life  and that everything you endure is apart of Gods plan for you even when at times it can be hard to see that. I know it can be nerve wracking not knowing  why things are happening to you , where you are headed or what your future holds  but my best and hopefully most comforting bit of advice I can give you today is to completely trust that God will take care of you and guide you to exactly where you need to be.
“ May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit” Romans 15:13 
Love always ,

Falling in love with the life you have now

Image
  Its so easy to get caught up in the future. Stressing and worrying about trying to stay on track with the life you have planned for yourself.  Go to Uni, go travelling, get a good career, buy a house , get married and later on have kids and settle down.  I may have just described your exact life plan or if not you get the idea. The problem is life doesn't always turn out how we expect it to and you can only control it to a certain extent.  Therefore all of this worrying and stressing about trying to get your life to look a certain way by a certain time is kinda pointless.  Yes we need to have ambitions, dreams and aspirations for our life don't get me wrong that is still so important ,however, we should not get so caught up in the future we forget to live in the present.  What many of us forget or even realise is that where we are right now in our life is where our past selves dreamed of being. Yet, we are so caught up in constantly seeking more and findi...

Backpacking around Europe at 18!

Image
   I know what you are thinking backpacking at 18 years old you must be mad! Freshly out of college no real-life experience and travelling Europe without the safety net of parents to help guide me. But trust me when I say it was the best decision and experience of my life so far. From the minute I landed in Budapest the reality of what I was doing had sunk in. I was in a foreign country with no real idea what I was doing there, and I was about to meet a group of people from around the world I had never met before. A mixture of feeling scared and feeling excited had washed over me. After a bit of a commotion with the Ubers outside the airport I finally made it to the first hostel where I was greeted with the first person, I would be spending the next few weeks with.  I say greeted I went into my hostel room to find a lad around my age fast asleep on one of the bunkbeds.  Not wanting to wake him I remember tip toeing around the room in the dark unpacking my stuff. Soo...

Everything I know about Love

Image
  Everyone who knows me knows that I am  and probably always will be a hopeless romantic. I have just always loved love. Right from when I was little girl when I was obsessed with Disney princess movies and the love between the prince and the princess. I think I hoped one day I would fine my own Knight  in shining armour. Throughout my childhood and teen years I started watching more and more romance movies and  books and the more I read and watched the more of a hopeless romantic I became. The problem was, however, that the books and movies where not reality, love was always portrayed in such an idealistic and perfect way which is not the reality of what love is. Love is also portrayed to be always romantic between two people ,however, there are so many other types of love in the real world which I will get in to later that this picture of what love is, is so far from the truth.  I recently just finished a book ironically about Love, however it is not what you ...
