I went through my blog a few days ago, reading my posts from the last 3 New Year's. Life has certainly gone places I didn't expect!
I am very, very happy and thankful for where it has gone.
I have been very lost... "all we like sheep have gone astray..." And that has been me. Looking back, it still would be me, but that I have a Good Shepherd, following after me and pulling me back, redirecting and guiding my steps.
He has been so good to me, full of undeserving mercy!
I have a verse marked in my bible, ironically from around 3 years ago, that I found again just last week. And I think I've been coming to know it these last few years especially...
"O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps."
How crazy and miraculous life has been! Thinking back to what I've wanted, the steps I desperately wanted to choose, the way I wanted my life to go... causes me to thank Him vehemently for what HE chose instead.
He is so intensely, undeniably good, and I want with all my heart to step rightly in line with Him. No more fighting or doubting His ways and plans... I desperately want to learn to just rest and trust and serve my Maker wholly in this life He's given me.
