God is funny. Down-right hilarious if you ask me.
It's funny how things never go the way we plan, yet in the end, they always end up better than we planned. Sometimes I think God sits up in heaven and laughs when I tell Him what Im going to do. God has bigger and better plans for me than I could ever dream of myself. Sometimes, it feels insecure not knowing what is going to happen next, or where you'll be in 10 years. But...it's all about faith in a faithful God.
It's funny how He works. How things come together at just the right time. How people come in and out of your life, yet through the pain, things always work out. How you wait for years for closure, and after 6 years He brings it. How He always comes to the rescue when we need Him most. He's good.
Sometimes I don't understand what God wants to do, or why things happen the way they do, but it's all about faith in a faithful God. Even through the toughest circumstances, God has ALWAYS been faithful. He always has and always will be. So, whatever God is trying to do in my life, I just sit back and smile because I know He is faithful and good.

Consider this...
I stumbled upon this quote from C.S. Lewis:
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.”
This is something I have been working on. I've been trying to allow God to break down the walls I put up around my heart and let myself be truly vulnerable. The fact is, no one wants to be vulnerable. No one wants to be hurt. But the truth is, we need to allow ourselves to be vulnerable, or else, our hearts will become "unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable."
