I have been on a journey of finding peace. I’ve been looking everywhere for it. I thought it was in other people, that they had something I was lacking. I thought it was in my ability to perform and succeed. That wasn’t it. I thought it was in my ability to be perfect. I was wrong. I even thought it was in my religion . That wasn’t it either. Keep reading before you freak out . You know where I have found it?
I have found peace in accepting every part of me. And, in having faith that this is exactly how I am meant to be.
This has taken a long time, but the right amount of time. See, I have fought who I am in so many areas of my life and relationships have suffered and been lost because of it. But, this place of new found peace is wonderful, and the Lord is using it in ways I couldn’t even imagine myself. So, I leave you with this simple encouragement.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.- Jer. 29:11
Be encouraged friends.
