One day at a time.

Today I was sitting in my room. It was really quiet, only because I was the only one in the house. As I sat there I began really thinking about my future. (I seem to do that a lot lately) Where will I be in 10 years? Will I be married? Will I have a job? My own house? Kids? Along with these questions, come other questions such as.. Will my husband want to have kids too? Will he want to do mission work like me? Will I get a good job somewhere? Oh, and so many more...

Finally after thinking about all this for a while, something hit me. As I was reading through scripture I remembered a passage in Jeremiah.

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 has a plan for me. Yes, I know that. I have heard that over and over. But, I never ever sat down and actually thought it through. GOD, the mighty ruler and Lord over the whole universe has a special plan for me. For my life. His plan is nothing but of good. All things a part of that plan to give him the glory and honor. I want nothing more than to live my life fully devoted to him. Pleasing and honoring him in everything. Every word from my lips, every move I make, every thought I think, every breath I take. All for the glory of God.

God knows the answers to all those questions I had. They may not be the way I want them, but the way HE wants them answered. If God is truly calling me to missions, than he will send me the right spouse who has a heart for missions too. Maybe he wont send me a spouse at all. Maybe his will for my life is to be single my whole life. Thats just something I will have to accept because He has a purpose for that. Kids, we will see. A job, a house, etc.. He knows.

Now, what do I do until then? I wait. I live life now as full as possible. I want to live his will for my life out everyday. Take life one day at a time. The Lord has a plan and in his time what he wants for me will happen. I can't worry about the future now. I know I serve a loving God and I trust him with my life fully. I am so blessed now with what the Lord has already blessed me with. I can't wait to see what the Lord has planned out for the rest of my time here on this earth. Meanwhile.. I will wait. I will take life One day at a time....
