I was talking with my friend who just got back from her studies at IBI for the summer and we were just catching up with the times. We got to the part where we were observing how much people have grown. I of course have seen tremendous growth in her as a person. She's seeking the Lord in such a way that I'm envious (the good kind, I promise) and she's snuggling in to her new adult life. Then she turned to me and told me that she's seen my maturity and I'm one of the most mature people she knows.
Now granted, I've heard that from a lot of people since I was little. I've always felt like an older person. Always. It's just how I've been. But something about the way she said it really touched me. I started reflecting, later on, about what has been going on since the beginning of the year and to me, I feel like I'm a complete mess. There are times that I feel like people look at me and are disappointed in the choices I've made. But to know that someone has seen my growth is kind of remarkable and encouraging.
It's also gotten me thinking about what God is going to do next. He's always working and I can see that now but there are moments in life where He seems more prominent. Kind of like a current. You don't really realized it's moving you until you look around and see the landscape changing.
I can see that God is shifting. He's bringing people back into my life in a big and wonderful way and there must be a reason. God does nothing without a reason and a purpose. I'm totally stoked about it and I just pray I'll have the faith and trust in God to let Him take the reins. It's never good for a blind person to take the reins of a life that isn't his to begin with. Right?
In case you didn't catch that, I'm the blind person in this analogy. Are you tracking? Okay good. :)
Till Next Time...
P.S. Hopefully God will give me a less expensive lesson to learn. Plane tickets to Boston aren't cheap. Ever. lol
