You Deserve the Best!

      I'm not sure why the idea for this blog post came to mind, but I hope in someway it might help someone realize that it's worth trusting God with important decisions in your life even if you don't know where you might end up. I want to share the story of how God led me to Eric. :) 

 On December 8th it'll be 3 years since the day I met Eric (yes I keep track of that)

  and today I've been really pondering on a promise that God made me right before I met Eric.

 After I graduated from High School my life was kind of a mess.

 I thought I had everything planned out but it didn't seem like anything was really going how I felt it should

  AND I wasn't HAPPY!

  I remember one day I really felt like things weren't right

 and I just got this overwhelming feeling to cut some ties in my life that had been causing me a lot of stress.

 These were plans I thought then would be big parts of my life for a long time

  and it wasn't a decision between good or bad

  but rather good and better 

 that would ultimately lead me to BEST.

 I remember the thought came to mind clear as day,

  "I've got something better planned for you."

  I seriously felt like the biggest weight was lifted off my shoulders

 and decided that day that I wouldn't make any big decisions

  unless I KNEW they were what I needed.

  I've lost friends along the way,

 made new ones,

 and other old relationships have been strengthened

 but none of that seems to matter

 because this is where God needs me.

  And you know what?

  I'm HAPPY!

  I'm so grateful that God fulfilled His promise to me

  by sending me Eric!

 I've learned that I'm worth so much more than I thought in High School,

I've learned what it really means to love and be loved,

and I've learned that if you put your trust in God, He will never leave you hanging.
