Home

It has been over a year, two suitcases, five pairs of shoes, one jacket, countless couches and guestrooms, six jobs, fifteen songs, four states, two mission trips, twelve friends, a new dog, a new best friend, the loss of my Grandma, a millions tears and even more prayers that have gotten me to this point. Sunday, after a year of being homeless, I moved my stuff out of storage and into my new apartment. I finally have a home.
My prayers have served as life support since early March of last year. My world was turned upside down after a simple prayer. Within a week I had lost my job, my apartment, all my agents, and my life’s direction. God had been playing the song Surrender to my heart for months leading up to the loss of the world I had created. Being the control freak I am I couldn’t comprehend how to surrender. I take care of myself. I asked God to open the door where he wanted me to be and to close the doors where he didn’t want me to be. What he did was open my heart to him. He showed me how to walk by faith and taught me how to rely on him and my family and friends.
As church was coming to an end on Sunday, the Pastor was praying and in the midst of his prayer he said, “Well done good and faithful servant”. I realized then that I had surrendered. God carried me for a year and has given me back my dreams. He continues to bless me beyond any expectations I have ever had.
If you hear a small voice whispering to your heart, listen to all the amazing things it has to say. You may not understand what it is asking you to do, or even how to do what it ask, but God will show you. It may take a day, a month, or even years. We are all a work in progress. Imagine how boring life would be if we had all the answers.
“I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.”
Matthew 10:28
