"I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" Jeremiah 29:11

Restored Faith

I felt lost. Everything-and I mean EVERYTHING- seemed to be shaky. I am scared that the plans I have for myself are not the actions that should be taken. Scared to choose the wrong path.  I am questioning everything. Thinking futuristically. Thinking of where I want to be in the future and questioning if I am on the right path to get there.
Luckily I had a beach day with Eva. It was a great time for me to let all my feelings out. I love talking to my best friend. She always knows how to clam me and gives me words of wisdom. We concluded that: 1) I am always thinking about the future and 2) I can not stand not knowing my future.  Although I was able to make those two points clear, the rest of my life still seemed to be a big question mark. I was still concerned about choosing the right path in life but was calmed by the great day at the beach with Eva.
Coming home, I could not find my house key. I was carrying a big bag, so it was hard for me to find the single key. In fact, I ended up dumping my whole bag on my front porch, hoping to find the key. As I was sifting through all the miscellaneous objects in my purse, my fingers ran across a ring. I pulled on the ring-which was embedded within one of the pockets-and pulled out my necklace. My necklace that I have been searching a month for. I had almost given up hope. This necklace means so much to me. It had been my grandmother's. Finding it has restored my hope. Finding the necklace reminded me of the importance of faith.
Eva :) 
Everything happens for a reason. God will never leave you. or me. He knows my future and I have to have faith that he will place me where I am to be. God has a plan for me and for you. When I believe all hope is lost, or I question my life's direction, I will have faith. Faith to restore what I have lost. Faith to accept the unknown future. I will trust in God. With all my heart.
