Filled With Joy and Expectation!

"Looking back on my Life Plan day, I would say that I am filled with joy and expectation! Throughout the whole day, it was evident that the presence of the Lord was there, that Jesus was directing my thoughts and words...I knew that it was Him who was speaking and revealing. As I reflected on certain past life events, it became overwhelmingly evident how the Lord has led my life so far and is weaving together His purposes. This gives me great hope that he WILL continue to direct my future! In studying my top 5 strengths, I was struck by how unique these are to me. The Lord has created these strengths and spiritual gifts within me, specifically for me - this overwhelms me with how much He loves and cares about me, reminding me anew of how intricate his designs are for my life. Spending a portion of the day in quiet reflection with the Lord was especially impacting. As I focused on the greatness and sufficiency of God, I was filled with the desire to truly surrender my fears and insecurities to Him - and I left that day filled with genuine joy, knowing that those "issues" had stayed with Jesus! There are so many lessons and truths from my Life Plan that I am still reflecting on, and I know that Jesus is, and will continue to teach me regarding my life purpose and how to live boldly in what He revealed to me during my Life Plan!"

I Have a God Confidence!

What an amazing time with the Lord! Having two days set aside to listen the The Lord as He revealed His enduring hand on my life was a precious gift. He showed how He has had an overall plan for me that He has been weaving throughout all the experiences of my life. To recognize that He has never let me go and how He knows me and has made me intentionally with a specific and unique design to fulfill His purposes in my generation and in the place He has assigned me has been incredible. I was able to recognize the reasons for and thereby release some of my ambitions that were threatening to pull me off God's course for me. Even now, 6 weeks later, I find myself referring back to my charts as God is continuing to reveal the application of all He showed me. I have a God confidence that emboldens me to walk in my purpose like never before. I am free from any guilt about all that I am not doing, know that it is not what God has called me to so I can let it go.
