.And That Has Made All The Difference.

I haven't blogged in a while, figured it's about that time again.  All I really have to say that is I am so thankful for the journey!! As I near graduation, just a few short months away, I am overwhelmed by God's goodness and faithfulness.  I can't imagine my life taking a different path had I chosen to go to the University of Arkansas, life would look so much differently than it does today. 


We read a poem last semester in an english class, and I can't help but think about how much that poem rings true for me. 

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference. 

-Robert Frost-

When everything in me wanted to run, the Lord kept confirming to me that "For I know the plans I have for you--this is the Lord's declaration--plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope" Jer. 29:11.  And so often we hear that verse and quit reading but if you continue, it just blows me away that I serve such a loving God.  "You will call to Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.  You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart" Jer. 29:12-13.  

Praise God for provision in my life, that I could never foresee but He knew and allowed to be. The friendships that challenged my walk with God, that encouraged me to see things from a new perspective, that pulled me out of complacency, for Brett Kenneth Alden-the only man I ever want to be with, that the Lord so uniquely designed to compliment my every area of weakness...for my new found appreciation for my family and friends at home, to learning how to live an intentional lifestyle, and most of all...just how to trust the Lord and have faith in Him, and Him alone.
