I have not written in so long. It feels good to start writing again. I hope to continue my blog focusing more on "just me!" and having an opportunity to share all the faithfulness of God in my life. The first few posts were specifically for a college class assignment and now I hope to just write. Join me as I hope to share my life a little and hopefully challenge you too.
Writing is my passion. I enjoy sharing my life with others. I enjoy talking. I enjoy helping others see how incredible and great our God is. I enjoy seeing others eyes being opened to all the beautiful things God has in store for them. I see such potential in others. God's love is so amazing. I am in awe of His mercy and faithfulness in my life.
Faith? What does it truly mean? What does it mean for you?
Do we honestly seek Christ everyday? Do you?
Faith for me is more than words can describe or possibly explain. It is life. Growing up amongst worlds, between cultures, and missing "homes", I have learned that without faith, I don't know if I'd make it through a day. Learning to let go of ALL that I could be in control of in my life is not an easy lesson...... but once understood and taken the risk to try it- It's beautiful!
Take the risk to let go! Take the risk to LET GOD be the one who controls your life and guides your every move. I am currently on break from college. I get a week off! Breaks are never an easy time for me as I miss India and being with family as most others get that privilege. I have learned however, that through the years- FAITH is what gets me through.
I have faith to believe that each day is in His hands. Each day HE takes care of my family across the world. HE takes care of my every move. I struggle when others have a strict plan on everything they do in their lives. Life seems so much harder when we plan it all ourselves. It's difficult for me because my life has been forced to accept FAITH. My lifestyle has been ALL about faith each moment.
I have no idea what my future holds. I have no idea when I get to go home. Will I see my parents this summer? What tomorrow holds. What I will do this summer. Who I will end up marrying? If I ever get married? Where I will live when I'm 22? I have NO idea. But this unknown. This unknown lifestyle and room for GOD TO move. It all becomes a miracle. Every day is a miracle in my eyes. I am lucky and blessed to be alive. Don't get me wrong- this whole lifestyle of not knowing what is to come is extremely SCARY! But it's exciting!!!! It's so wonderful to know that when we give it ALL to God He DOES use us. He does carry us. He wants to use our faith in Him to make a difference. I have realized this recently.
Being away from all that I am used to and basically "studying abroad for 4 years" is a challenge. BUT with God ALL things are possible. Just look back in your life- the past 5 years. Think about all you have come through and learned. God wants us to take risks with Him. He wants to shower us with His plans and His will for our lives. Are we letting Him? Are YOU giving Him room to take control? Are YOU giving Him space? Are YOU taking that risk to LET GO and have the faith that moves mountains. I challenge you to take a step of faith. Get out of your comfort zone.
Trust me- Life is SO much more of an adventure if we learn to have FAITH in ALL we do.
Experience God today-- Surrender every plan to HIM. Learn to meditate on His Word and He will USE YOU. Have faith that moves mountains- because WITH HIM ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!
I can proudly say that living outside the box, living completely not in my comfort zone and being forced to just have faith- has blessed me. Life is so exciting!
Just have a little FAITH today. :)
