a long journey...

Have you ever been caught in the situation where you're doing something you 'feel' you're not meant to do, yet still willingly trudge through it because it's what God wants you to do, in order for you to learn something or to form a closer relationship with him?

For 4 years, I've held on and even though the end is near, it's one of the most trying times I've faced in my life. I've been emotionally up and down the roller coaster, because while I want to be a good testimony to the people around me, my determination to continue this journey has not been particularly satisfactory.

Perhaps this is what God wants me to learn - to be a stronger woman for the other tasks He's set out ahead of me in the future and to strengthen my faith in Him. Even though I may know this, but I've often felt down and in despair, eventually burdening those around me. I am truly grateful to those who've been there for me. You know who you are :)

I must continually remind myself of the goals the Lord has set out for me, and to always console myself that God will never put me through situations that are impossible to go through. It just dawned on me that within this year or so, I've been drawn closer to God faster than any period of time in my memory.

I thank God for his overwhelming love and devotion to me, and I guess I should use that as my determination to move on. I know He has big plans for me, and that He's building up my character now so I can fulfill whatever He has in line for me.

These are 2 of my favourite worship songs. Hope they'll touch your heart.
