I'm back!!! So it has been a very long time since I last posted. I have thought about posting every now and then but could never really think of anything to write. A lot has happened since last time, my wonderful grandfather passed away shortly after my last post. Still does not seem real at times and every time I remember the pain seems to come back just as strong.
As I was walking tonight and listen to my iPod a song came on that I heard right after my grandfather passed away. It is "What it Feel like" by FFH, if you have never heard it...you should go look it up its a great song. There is a point in the song where it says "And this may not be the road I would choose for me but it still feels right somehow ". As I was walking I could not help but laugh to myself a bit. Here I am in New Orleans and getting my Masters. I never pictured myself getting my Masters or moving any where close to here and I had other plans already in place, how I wanted my life to go. It is amazing how God works. Even thought this is not the road or path envisioned my life taking it does feel right. The line goes on to say: "And I have never felt you as close to me as I do right now". While I know that I can always get closer to God every day, I find that the more I trust him and follow his plan the more closer I feel to him.
I am reminded of Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Every day I have to remind myself that he does not have plans to hurt me but plans for love. Often time the plans that he has will be greater then anything we could ever plan ourselves. I want to leave you with a video I found of the song . I hope you enjoy the song as much as I do. Just remember, in sad times or hard times or times of no understanding the Lord is always there and in those time is when you can grow even closer to our the Lord.
