My Breakthrough

A few weeks ago, my junior class had a retreat. On this retreat we had someone come and give a devotion. It was only about fifteen minutes, but those fifteen minutes really impacted my life. The speaker talked about God's will and what He wanted from us. We read several verses telling us God's will. These verses said to honor your father and mother, work the land, speak kind words, etc. There were many more than what I listed. He told us that while we question God about His will or plan for our lives, we often don't realize it has been right in front of us all this time. However, he also said that instead of asking God's plan for my life, we should simply ask what God's plan is. He does have a plan for each individual life, but if we follow His Biblical will, we begin to understand His plan for each of us individually. I have been consumed with thoughts about the future and hearing this really has been changing the way I think about my future. I no longer need to find out what I am going to do with my life. If I follow God's written will, the Bible, I will eventually figure out what He has planned for me.   
When I searched for breakthrough moment in images this is what popped up.
I thought it was really neat. :)

  1. I like the image. It fits your blog topic! It is rather refreshing when we finally are able to rest in God's will. Like you said, we get consumed with all of the details, but God is really just asking us to follow him.
