His Hand

When you can't trace His hand...trust His heart.

That quote has stuck with me for many years now...and I tend to fall back on it more than I realize.  As I have grown closer to Christ through this process, I have learned that His hand is involved in everything I do.  Well, actually...His hand and His heart.  But there are moments when I can actually picture His hand guiding me towards my future.  And I follow...slowly...uncertainly...I follow.  I know there is a path.  I believe that beyond what you can imagine.  But the path sometimes is so dark.  It is hard to find my way.  It is hard to see the next step...even the one right in front of me.  And what I am learning, is that I have to just close my eyes and walk anyway.  There are stumbling blocks along the way.  Provided by none other than the devil himself.  But every time I find myself on the ground, I have help getting back up.  God has provided me with the most wonderful support system...no matter what is going on in my life.  I have parents who support me and are proud of me no matter what.  They love me as God loves me and have never...ever turned their back on me.  I have a sister who is there for me without fail.  Emotionally and physically.  I have a husband...who doesn't fully understand my "womanly" ways...but he never lets me down.  He is there  to listen...to support...to help me make decisions.  And he too loves me  unconditionally.  And then I have these amazing friends.  All I can say is that I hope that you all have the kind of friends that I have.  They are there for me...they are encouraging....they make me laugh...and they say just the right thing when you need it the most.  I think that the song that plays when you pull up this blog would apply to just about everyone in my life at some point or another.

Last night a friend said some things to me that warmed my heart.  They made me smile.  They gave me encouragement.  They gave me the confidence to move forward in my life.  And it was such a God thing.  He was there.  He orchestrated the entire conversation.  I am so blessed to have friends with a God loving heart.  It is truly a blessing.  Beyond measure.

His hand and His heart are always present in my life due to the people that I have surrounded myself with.  I am forever thankful for the love and support of my friends and family...and fully and completely believe...

God gave me you.

Have a Blessed Day!
