Steering Wheels...


The last time I wrote a blog was when I was in high school...
Over 7 years ago!
Times have changed since then and so has this girl.
Before I went to college I was shy, introverted, & didn't have a visible backbone.
No who knew me then would probably recognize me now...
I am still shy but it no longer defines who I am.
I sometimes go out of my way to talk to people because I understand that friendships are important and who knows, they just might have needed a listening ear.
As for backbone, I've heard the word "stubborn" used when people talk about my determination - if I believe in it I won't back down.
How did this little girl turn into the woman I have become?
Yes, maturity has a lot to do with it, but it's more than just growing-up.
I had to go thro some things to get me here. No, sometimes they weren't pretty and yes, there were times I thought I wouldn't, couldn't get through any more.
But God got me through.
He has always been there for me. Even when I didn't feel the need for Him.
Even when I thought I was too busy for Him.
Even when I would rather watch a movie then spend time reading His Word.
Even when I only came to Him when I needed or wanted something or had a problem I wanted Him to fix.
He was there.
This girl has finally come to her senses.
Without Him relationships fall apart.
Without Him love is nothing more than a Hollywood fabrication.
Without Him people don't care.
Without Him things don't work out.
Without Him life doesn't make sense.
No, I'm not completely where I want to be.
No, I don't have the man I want.
No, I don't have everything figured out.
But I have to trust that He has me exactly where He wants me to be and will continue to lead me in the direction I should be going.
Some things are harder to trust about (like the man situation haha), but it's a learning experience and I'm learning from my mistakes.
Who knows how long it'll take to get there...
But as long as He's in control, I know I'm in good hands.
I just have to let Him drive.
