Inspired

Took a walk with my dad the other day and when I came across these beautiful flowers I had to take a picture. I love it because it just goes to show that in the midst of something slightly chaotic there can be beauty. These gorgeous purple flowers are sprouting even thought they are surrounded and covered by leaves.

Sometimes this is how I feel about life, but then I remember that God uses some of that chaos, and what we would consider to be craziness, for the glory of His name. The moments that make up our journey in life shape us and everything that we encounter is for a reason.

I am definitely in the midst of change in my life but I am learning that change is okay. Life is not always going to be all planned out and perfect.

I love that while on this journey of mine I have been given the privilege to be apart of something bigger than myself. Tonight at small group I found the discussion to be quite inspiring. I am not entirely sure why since it didn't differ much from the message last night, but I guess my heart was in a different place and a little more open to hearing what God wanted me to hear. One thing that really stood out to me is that our walk with God and our prayer life is a day by day process. Something I have been working on and will continue to work on is enjoying the moment and just taking this journey one day at a time.

I was definitely challenged tonight to take more note of those moments when God shows up at the just the right time. I know they are everyday things and by taking note of those moments I will be able to remember them, recognize them later and give thanks to God for them.
