His Plans

        Jeremiah 29:11 speaks about God's plans. It says, "For I know the plans I have for you... plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." I firmly believe in that because of how God has worked in my life.
 I know that I said I wouldn't blog, but I must. This is my testimony. Here goes...
    I loved someone for a very long time. I couldn't understand why he didn't love/want me. I battled depression for a long time because of it. I tried to keep a happy face, but towards the end, I started falling. My relationship with God suffered as well...
    When you don't seek God's kingdom FIRST, unfortunately, you watch your life crumble before you. That had to happen to me before I realized what I was supposed to do.
     We are all born with a purpose. For years, I didn't think I had one (silly me) but I learned that my purpose is to help people. God's plans were different from my own and I had to learn and accept that before I could see what task He wanted me to do in life.
     For the last year, I've been counseling young people. It has been one of the most amazing things in my life. It didn't happen by accident and it happened at the right time. I was able to make an impact on so many people without even realizing it. When I let go of my own wants and selfish desires and listened to God, He led me to helping people. He showed me my true calling.
      As for the guy I was in love with, I loved him with my whole heart and despite the fact that I no longer have those feelings for him, I have unconditional love for all of my brothers and sisters. I sincerely wished him and his love well but he just deleted my comment that I left on his blog. I guess it's easier to pretend that someone or something doesn't exist than to face the truth. It's okay though. I've made my peace with God and I will continue to pray for him, her and all of their endeavors.
God has plans for me... Plans to give me hope and a future...

God Bless,
