Grace

A friend recently told me: 


John 10:27 "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." :) All you have to be is HIS and you can be sure that He is talking to you... You can recognize His voice easily because unlike the enemy who is always LOUD, OBNOXIOUS, and trying to drag you down... the voice of Jesus is gentle, loving, encouraging, and kind.


I have been worried that I've been missing God's signs.  I think HE is a funny man.  Now that I am paying more attention to what He speaks to me. . . . I see and hear him in my life more than ever now.  He has given me some wonderful signs recently.  When I have let things go and put them in His hands, He has made things in my life infinitely better.  If I could continue to not worry and leave all things up to Him, I know the plan He has for me will be amazing.  


Sometimes I just get in my own way.  I think lots of people do.  Sometimes we just have to get out of our own way.   I know with me being such a controlling person when it comes to everything in my life, sometimes I just make the situation worse.  Time, patience, and maturity can go a long way.  


I started a new chapter of my life this weekend.  The chapter of transition is closed.  The chapter of new beginnings is starting.  I know God is going to make this chapter of my life the best ever.  There are amazing things coming for me and for all those in my life.  My family, my friends, and even those who are not my friend. . . . good things are about to happen.  I've never been more optimistic before in my life.  I have a wonderful new apartment.  I am surrounded by wonderful friends.  And I have a wonderful loving family.  I can't wait for what's ahead for me.
