What you need when you need it...Not what you want when you want it...

In church today, one of the things we talked about how God will give you what you need when you need it, not what you want when you want it. Which is exactly what I needed to hear today. Crazy as it may seem, God works wonders, and He does it all in His timing, not ours. Don't get me wrong, the power of prayer shouldn't be underestimated, because He always will hear you and answer your prayers, just not always with the answer you were expecting or wanted.

Just this past week I had experienced such a thing. I went to my mom's school over my spring break. In her class we couldn't have our phones on, so I turned it off. During the day, I had been brought to a low point because one of my friends had said something that hurt me greatly. Not only that, but I had been just having not a great week because I was bored and alone for most of it. So, at the end of the day I turned my phone back on. I had a new text message that said, "Proverbs 3:5-6 : Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths."

It was exactly what I needed to hear and the exact time that I needed to hear it. I have to trust the Lord and know that He has a plan for me. Wherever life may lead me, I know that he directs this path and is showing me the way. In the end, where I end up is up to Him and I'm okay with that. I trust Him and have faith that in the life He will give me is a good one. I'm not saying it'll be easy, but I'll be happy.
