It has been such an amazing journey this week. I have made some great personal accomplishments and made some wonderful, Christ loving friends. I am so proud of not only how far I have come in my walk with the Lord this week, but all of my friends who performed so wonderfully during all of their showcases.
In talking with so many people today, the Lord has placed a great peace upon my heart about what has transpired here at SHINE. So I am sure all of you are wondering what the outcome was. Well, I did not get any callbacks! (imagine me shouting this with happiness). I know that sounds strange, but I can't even begin to describe the fulfillment I have in my heart about all of my showcases. I know that the Lord has a plan for me and I will continue to listen to Him and follow Him where ever He may lead me. After I opened my envelope to discover this information, we went down to the worship service. As we were glorifying the Lord and singing praises to His name, I became overwhelmed with tears. And the strange/amazing thing was that I couldn't help but think I am SO HAPPY! These were not tears of sadness, but tears of JOY!
I serve an amazing God who made every performance perfect in His eyes. Even though I don't think I did my best, it was His performance and He made it just what it was supposed to be. I feel that God has stirred the pot in my life once again, and although I am confused about where I am meant to be, I am standing strong in Him knowing, that as long as I am faithful, He will provide what is needed for me in this life.
While I was sitting in our awards banquet tonight, I had the thought of, not disappointment or sadness, but that it doesn't matter what I receive down in this life because I know what awaits for me in His kingdom. I may not have been acknowledged by these VIP's here this week, but God always acknowledges His children. I know that I many amazing rewards will be awaiting me in Heaven and I can't wait to share that with my God.
So if you are feeling down and out about something that didn't go as you had planned, just remember that your plan B, could be Christ's plan A! Keep faithful, persevere and trust in God!
