Have Your Way

For the past 6 months to a year I have been feeling extremely unsettled.  I recently made a promise to God and to myself that I will give him everything. He can do all things. I give him the reality of the pain of slowly loosing my father and everyday he finds a way to bring joy into my life. I give him the search for my future husband. By doing so he has saved me from un-needed and un-wanted amounts of pain. Its discouraging waiting for Christ's timing in all aspects of my life. But, his timing is perfect. I have seen his perfection in every aspect of my life. Christ will work everything out. I'm his child, and he is my father. He wants nothing else but to see me grow in all areas of my life. Trusting has always been an extremely hard thing for me to do. But the more I try to trust Christ the more at ease I feel. I have nothing to worry about, Christ is taking care of it. But whether or not I sometimes worry, is for another blog post. With that I'd like to leave you with a song by an amazing woman that changed my life.

Have Your Way- Britt Nicole
Feels like I've been here forever,
Why can't you just intervene,
Do you see the tears keep falling?
And I'm falling apart at the seams,
But you never said the road would be easy,
But you said that you would never leave.
And you never promised that this life wasn't hard,
But you promised you'd take care of me,
So I'll stop searching for the answers,
I'll stop praying for an escape
And I'll trust you God with where I am
And believe you will have your way,
Just have your way,
Just have your way,
My friends and my family have left me
I feel so ashamed and so cold,
And I feel so ashamed and so cold
Remind me you take broken things and turn them into beautiful
So I'll stop searching for the answers,
I'll stop praying for an escape
I'll trust you God with where I am,
And believe you will have your way,
Just have your way,
Just have your way,
Even if my dreams have died,
Even if I don't survive,
I'll still worship you with all my life,
My life, yeah,
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh
And I'll stop searching for the answers,
I'll stop praying for an escape
And I'll trust you God with where I am,
And believe you will have your way,
Just have your way,
Just have your way, yeah
I know you will,
I won't forget
Whoa, oh, oh
You love me,
Have your way,
Yeah

Comfort of Comforts

What do you use for comfort? Ice cream? A favorite television show? Talking to a best friend? We as humans constantly turn to things that will only bring us momentary comfort. Maybe you are searching for something to fulfill or comfort you, in a boy friend or the perfect job, but you always come up empty. These things will not fulfill you unless you make Christ your number one comfort. Your boyfriend may break up with you, You may finish your ice cream or television show, but Christ will never leave you. He will always be your comfort. God is the comfort of all. The things of this life will fade, change, leave, break and die. There is no dependency. Our hearts may break, we may loose our health, our lives may change, and family members may die but God will remain constant.
