Anyways, many exciting and new things have been happening in my life since we've last chatted. I recently went home for a night last weekend. I saw my family and my best friend, and it was such a good time! I babysat my littlest sisters Macey and Izzy. They're so precious. Izzy is 5 and she is becoming so grown up! She was instructing me on how to bathe and take care of Macey, it was cute! Macey is almost 6 months and she is laughing, smiling, talking, and playing more! She's so sweet and CUTE! My sister who is a year younger than me filled me in on life at home later that night. My family and I celebrated my step-mom's birthday too. I had a good coffee talk with my mom about my future. :) I am so blessed to have the family that I have. God has totally brought me into a place of deeper appreciation for my family, especially my parents. Parents, contrary to previous statements and feelings I have had towards them, are indeed a great idea that God had. Parents do so much! They not only financially and physically provide for their children, but also emotionally provide and support them. I would definitely be the person I am today without my great parents!
So, back to the new things. God is bringing me to a deeper level of faith and trust in Him, especially regarding the plans He has for my future. I feel that God is taking and calling me to a new place... in many different ways and meanings. I'm so excited for this new season of life that is approaching! At the same time, it requires me to stand on the edge of a deep cliff and just jump off with everything that I have trusting that God will catch me. It's thrilling and exciting, yet there is a definite sense of the unknown. The one thing I do know is that God will catch me when I jump- no questions asked. He's calling me to take the biggest leap of blind faith I have ever taken in my life. I know His plans for me are nothing but the best. I fully believe that with all of my heart- it's not just something I am saying to sound good. I am so pumped. God is making my dreams come alive. He cares about my dreams and desires. With Him, my dreams will become a reality. In this season of transition, I know that God is calling me to do things that are bigger than myself. If I can do it on my own, then it's not of God. I can't do anything without Him. God is so, so, so faithful! I cannot wait to see what He has in store for me next on this beautiful journey...
Life is a journey and a grand adventure! There are highs and lows, and One constant. There are many obstacles. I am starting to see how these obstacles are just opportunities; opportunities to grow, become stronger, and to embrace what life is giving you. Obstacles are part of the adventure. You can find adventure in the challenges thrown your way, or you can allow the obstacle to claim victory over you life. I am more than a conqueror. I have victory over every obstacle. I know the outcome- my God wins, and because of His victory, I too am victorious. No obstacle is too big for me, because my God is bigger than them all. The obstacle is an opportunity. I can choose to be joyful or discouraged when an obstacle comes knocking on my door. I choose JOY.-Joy in the Lord! Many people think that I don't ever face challenges in life because I have constant joy. Joy from the Lord alone. I have troubles and hard times too; I am just choosing to rejoice through the obstacles and remind myself that I already know the outcome- God already knows the outcome. VICTORY. I am VICTORIOUS. The obstacles add to the adventure. I love adventure, it's in the very core of who I am- adventurous. There is adventure in the journey. I know my destination, so there is no need for me to doubt my GPS system. Discouragement will not dominate me and will not ruin my adventure. I have the best travel companion ever, too. He knows the way and lights my path when I can't see. There could never be a greater adventure than the journey of life with Him. My shoes are laced up and I'm ready to go. I won't quit, or slow down.
Sorry for the great length of this post. :)
Love y'all and God Bless! <3
I am Meagan Whitson, and I just had an impromptu dance party in my dorm room when no one was around.
Embrace the journey!
