crossroads in life…

So you are probably wondering as to why I have a picture of some of my graduation pictures from high school, well I am so glad you asked haha! today I felt like I should share a season of my life and a lesson that the Lord has been teaching me for the past couple of years and especially the last few months!  

I chose this picture because, during this season of my life in high school, I was terrified. I trusted the lord, but I was absolutely terrified of the future because I had no idea what I was gonna do. All my friends around me knew exactly what they wanted to do, what degree they were going to college to get and they just seemed to have it all together and I felt like a basket case of whatever trying to figure out what I was gonna do. 

I was at a crossroads. 

I had so many choices and decisions to make and I had a lot of people speaking in my ear telling me so many different things and the opinions of what everybody else had to say, which made it so hard for me to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit. 

I had the choice of following what society says I should’ve done and I could’ve gone to an academic college and gotten a basic degree even though I knew I did not wanna do that at all and I had so much fear and lack of peace knowing that God was not calling me to that. or I could’ve gone where I felt peace which was the ministry college that some people laughed at when they found out I wasn’t going to “real” college. So I went where I felt the most peace of the Holy Spirit even though no one around me understood why. 

I say all of that to say if you feel that you are at that place in your life where you have either a bunch of decisions in front of you or you don’t know what lies in front of you, God will guide you and give you peace with where he wants you to go. the devil wants you to succumb to his fear but ultimately God’s peace rules overall. And my mom says it so well to me all the time when God guides he provides, but when you can’t hear him giving you any direction, stay where you are. 

So I believe today that if you are at a crossroads and you don’t know what to do or where to go, Just rest and trust God that He will lead you and guide you and if you feel that He hasn’t spoken anything to you yet about your future, he could just simply be protecting you from yourself! he was with me! He knew that if I knew the exact plans that were in my future, I was gonna do everything in my power to get there, whereas now, I can just rest and trust him that he will lead me and guide me. I believe that he will do the exact thing with you if you would just let him! 

– love grace <3
