From the Depths of My Heart

Well, I sit here with a troubled and yet peaceful heart, soul and mind. Tomorrow I begin a new chapter of my life. Tomorrow 'normal' changes. Tomorrow I change. But praise God, He NEVER changes.

I feel like I'm taking a HUGE step - something like getting married. Ok, so maybe it's not THAT big but still, for me, this is BIG!

God grant me strength to wade THROUGH whatever is ahead. Give me courage to FACE the lions of my fears head on. Give me patience with myself as I battle to do RIGHT. God give me Your eyes to see when all is dim and vague. Give me faith to FOLLOW You.

My watch-words for the coming weeks and months are these two quotes:

"Those who in everything make God first and last and best are the happiest people in the world." MYP38

and

"God gives opportunities: success depends on the use made of them." PP223

The first gives me faith to believe that even though this next chapter of my life is not something that my selfish, human heart would have chosen, I will do it because God has called me to and He will grant me happiness. The second is my challenge to make the most of this opportunity that God has given.

"All His biddings are enablings."
