He shall direct your paths


I dont get how I can be so impulsive about saying certain things & then find it so difficult to talk about how I feel. The problem isnt that I cant express myself the way I want, I think I'm just growing to fear confrontation. Which is not me. On my drive home from Oceanside today I had a really neat opportunity to be alone with my thoughts. I was able to bring all my cares to the Lord & ask for direction & guidance. Ive been feeling really different lately. Ive been so anxious to see & experience what God has for me next. Ive been so tired of this place that Im in. My growth has been so hindered by my soroundings & I feel such a need for escape. Getting out of Fullerton is unrealistic at the moment, but I know Ive been called to something more & somewhere different from everything that Ive known for the last 8 or 9 years of my life. When I went away to college my life was exactly the way I wanted it to be. I was doing something. I was learning & I was growing. I was experiencing life, traveling, seeing God's invisible attributes through His creation, venturing out with little to no expectation.

But now, here I am, working a full time job to indulge myself in all of my expensive taste for things & bad habits. Trying to live my life full of luxuries & pleasures, all while neglecting & ignoring my purpose.

But I see all of that right now. & Im so tired of it. I dont know what the opposite of all of this looks like, but I am putting all of my trust in the Lord & I know that He will reveal these things to me. I think I am beginning to see what direction my life is going & who I want alongside of me on the way there.

& who I dont want.





"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, & lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, & He shall direct your paths. " Proverbs 3:5-6
