First Blog!!

I am definitely new at this so hope this one goes well! I am mainly using this blog to just talk about what is going on in my life and how God is using every situation to mold and shape me into the person He wants me to be. Sometimes this isn't the easiest thing to do and fully be surrendered to His will, but I do know that it's going to be worth it because blessings will be poured out for doing His will. I strive each day to learn more and more about what He is trying to tell me. Although most the time I don't want to hear it (because it isn't at all what I want), He is slowly changing my heart and mind to see what He desires in my life and making me want the same things.
I was reading the other day and I found this verse, "My Grace is sufficient, my power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9 This verse hit me so hard because I finally realized that if He is going to do what He wants with me and make my life the best it can be, I have to realize that in MY weakness he is working the hardest. The past few months have been very hard with relationships and just feeling like all I have known for most my life wasn't what I thought it was. But when I read this it was so clear. In order for Him to work the best and change me so that I can be blessed with the desires of my heart, I must be weak. I must be at my lowest and completely dependent on Him and only Him. Big Daddy Weave's song "What would life be like" and I think he says it perfect.....That it's when I am at my weakest, I can clearly see! God knows exactly what to do in every situation and even though most of the time it's not what we want, its exactly what we NEED! It took me a very long time to grasp this concept but when I did, I knew that Jesus loves me so much that He is going to take care of me no matter what happens.
