I've been doing a lot of thinking this week and I have come to the conclusion that God can take me home now. I don't need to get married or have kids or travel places to be fulfilled. If I am to remain single my whole life then that is fine. If God calls me home before all that then I am totally fine. That stuff in life doesn't really matter. What matters is honoring and glorifying God in all that I do. The only reason I am here on this earth is to bring glory to Him. I want Him to use me fully and I want to let Him take me wherever He sees fit. So I am content with where God has placed me right now. Contentment is sometimes so hard, but I've been praying for a long time for God to help me be content and He has answered that prayer. I am at a place where I feel free. Free from burdens, from hurt, from pain, and now I am free to go wherever and do whatever (well, not "whatever" but you know what I mean). God has healed and God has given me freedom or rather i've taken His freedom and grace. His giving is unendless it's amazing! I am so blown away by it. I am so thankful for the place I am in right now. It is exciting and new.
Praise the Lord!!
