Right Place, Right Time

January 19th, 2018

As I have seen over the past week, there is a reason that the Lord puts people in your life for a reason, time and place. Sometimes these are really obvious but other times they aren't. Other times hindsight is 20/20 and we look back to realize why we experienced what we did.

Sometimes there is great joy out of the places we find ourselves. Things are happy because there are so many good people around us and everything seems to be falling into place.

Other times trial produces great sorrow and we don't see an end to the pain. However, I hope, you have the same great people that will love you through it. Or in my case, some new ones will arise.

I have recently found that I might not fully understand what God is doing by rearranging who is in my life in my last semester of college. But I know to trust Him. There are a lot of new people that I am truly afraid of losing but I also know that the Lord makes all things work for my good.

I don't know if I truly believe that timing is everything in life because our timing is not God's. I know that in new friendships there comes great joy and laughter that is unexplainable. Joy of the Lord that I would not trade for the world.

People that let me be myself. People that let me cry. People that let me laugh. People placed in my life at just the moment I needed them. I may not know why or where these friendships are going but God does. So for now I go with the flow.

Is there someone that has been put in your life at the right place and time and you just haven't taken the time to notice?

xoxo,
Em

Unexpected Realizations

September 8, 2016 Yesterday, I had a conversation that I wasn't expecting to have and it went better than expected. Sometimes, you expect the worst in people and then they surprise you. Then, I realized how much a horrible person I can be by judging someone based on my emotions. (Bad life choice!) Then, I once again have a realization that pushing people out because of others isn't right but how often do we find ourselves doing it? Or how often do we justify it because of our anger and emotions? Too often, we let our emotions make our decisions instead of trying to be reasonable or logical about the situation. It can be hard to "check" ourselves when we know that we will be wrong or our actions will be. However, it can be redeeming to realize that you're wrong and move past it. While it can be awkward to have those conversations, the freedom that comes from them is unexplainable sometimes. I was wrong. Very wrong. I judged and then I realized I didn't ...

Marking Time

August 24, 2016 Have you ever been in the middle of a tunnel in life and don't know how to find a way out? I've been experiencing a lot of that lately. Not in a depression sense of my life but more in the purpose of it. (If that makes any sense). I feel as though I am marking time through life not really connecting in what I am supposed to be doing. It's a weird feeling. When we, our marching band, went to church together on Sunday the pastor was talking about relationships and three levels of connections we can have. It got me thinking about my own friendships and relationships but also about the connections of my life. What if I haven't been connecting in the ways God is calling me because I am too focused on marking time through life? I realized how much more intentional I need to be with my life. I realized how much I don't want people in my life unless they are "real" friends. So I have decided to do a life cleanse. My life cleanse just mean...

Life Without a Script

May 13, 2016 Since I have been home for the past week it has been a roller coaster of emotions. Sometimes in these roller coasters it's hard to trust that God is in control. The past few weeks my church at school was talking about "life without a script" but what does that mean? For me, it's having faith that as my story is playing out; God is in control and is the one dictating my script. (Not going to lie, it's really hard) Between a crazy family situation that is totally out of control, it makes my heart hurt. With other stress from work things with my family I'm struggling to have faith. It makes me question why do good things happen to bad people? I have to remember that Satan is running our material world. Now more than ever I have to lean into God's plan because this world is only temporary. My mom is the one who has been reminding me about that. She tells me "have faith, remember?" While I am normally the strong in God; now my mom...
