Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart
God knows my heart. . .inside and out. The verse above got me through some really tough times. After I gave up dreaming about my fantasy guy I had to make some changes. Changes that would help me to delight in the Lord instead of following the way of the world. I had to put my boy crazy ways behind me, so I started forcing myself to see the men/boys in my life as brothers in Christ rather than potential future husbands. This was hard because I like being in control, and by doing this I couldn't choose my future husband, God would have to.
I started to realize that I didn't want to be the person people thought I should be, I rooted myself in God. I started to become the person God wanted me to be. Through this time I learned that I was broken on my own, that I needed my family more than I thought. I also learned that I have a passion for helping young women grow in God. My heart was changing from being a cold glass room to being a beautiful blooming rose. Instead of seeing myself all the time I began to learn how to be a reflection of God's love. This journey is not easy, I am still working on it. But I want to change for Christ. I want to be everything God needs me to be!
