Wishes and Dreams

Lately, I've been learning to put all my trust in the Lord. We're constantly being told to trust Him and His ways, but we seldom chose to make that a daily habit. Not until recently have I begun to take it seriously.

My walk with God has increased a lot over the past year. I've matured a lot by leaning on God instead of friends, embracing my calling and making it a priority to read my Bible.
Growing up in church, I've always felt the need to do all of these things but I don't think it was ever very personal. It was more of a religious thing than a relationship thing.
More people than I'd like to admit have seen my at my worst, and sad to say, a lot of these people still view me as that person I once was. Hence, God brings people in your life for seasons. I've grown to realize this reality far too much and too often.

This brings me all to my point.
The picture I've posted of hands holding those glittery stars symbolize what a dear mentor of mine showed me last year. I was in a rut, trying to figure out what God wanted me to do with my life and which direction to chose. But, when he told me "Kylie, you're a musician waiting to go-" (Then he simply blew into his hands and had me imagine all of that glitter flying out from his hands.) You can imagine the sight, right? What a powerful demonstration that was to me. Plus, it was very encouraging.

God has His hands on me and is molding me to become the musician He wants me to be. So, as I wait to go from the palm of my own hand, to be blown throughout the world, I sit and repeat Stellar Kart song lyrics:

"I'll be the one who makes you laugh
Make up for the memories that made you sad
Me and you together, forever we could be
Someday you will find me in all your wishes and dreams."

I see God all over my wishes and dreams now.. all I want is His perfect will. Whatever that is, I know I'm ready for it, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get there. To do that, I must trust Him.
With Him I can do anything and without Him I can't do anything.

"Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all of your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths strait." Proverbs 3:5-6
