I'm so concerned with what I look like from the outside // Will I blossom into what You hope I'll be? // Yet, You're so patient just to help me see the blooms come from a deeper seed that You've planted in me // Sometimes it's hard to grow when everybody's watching // To have your heart pruned by the One who knows best // And though I'm bare and cold, I know my season's coming // I'll spring up in Your endless faithfulness // With my roots deep in You, I'll grow the branch that bears the fruit // And though I'm small, I'll still be standing in the storm // 'Cause I am planted by the river // By Your streams of Living Water // And I'll grow up strong and beautiful // All for Your splendor, Lord.
My heart is so uneasy tonight ... but I'm resting in the truth that God is pruning this heart of mine and that He does do it for my good.
A couple things I've been learning about myself this week: 1) I can't handle the "truth." 2) I've become so inconsiderate and so wrapped up in my own bubble that I forget about other human beings. 3) Need balance, balance, balance. 4) Also need Jesus ... every single day.
In my ever changing life, I praise God because He never changes.
It's hasn't exactly been the toughest week although it is mid-term week. I can't wait for it to be over. I need some time.

I woke up this morning and Proverbs 3:6 was written on the ground. It was so good and very much needed. Lately, I've been finding myself dealing with feelings of uncertainty. My prayers to God for direction has not been unanswered though, 'cause you see, I woke up this morning to Proverbs 3:6 ... and yesterday night, I remember pleading from the Lord to simply lead me where He wants me. This morning, I was reminded that He wants me to be with Him, centered on Him, focused on Him, and knowing that He is God .. the God of my life, my plans, my paths. I love that in the verse, it says to acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. It's been a real comfort and I hope you find the same comfort when/if you're dealing with any kind of uncertainty in this season of your life.
I wish the chalk was more visible so you'd be able to see it as well. It's too bad the afternoon rain washed it awaaay.
Thanks for reading!
