“For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord.” “Plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
Jeremiah 29:11-14
It was in a moment of realizing that everything I was doing was failing me that I discovered God had a different plan. Had I known this sooner maybe I wouldn’t have gotten to the point where I had not other choice, so it seemed. At the time it felt horrible but looking back it was a good place to be because I was willing to allow God to direct my life. I knew that the Holy spirit was near me and reaching for me I just didn’t know how to access it until I surrendered.

What I found out was that in order to activate my plan I had to stay plugged in and working on my faith through the word of God. I couldn’t just let go and do nothing. I had to begin working on myself so that God could allow me access to this plan knowing that he already loved me exactly where I was. This was not an easy concept to understand and it is something that I still work on daily. Given the state of my life in all ways, I knew that I had a choice to make. I could continue directing my steps with no faith and remind myself that it wasn’t leading to what we all deserve which is love and prosperity, or, I could allow God to direct my path and plug into my commitment.
