coming to the crossroads...

the crossroads in life are hard. a decision has to be made. it usually isn't without great emotion. Your life is brought to attention...there are two paths, your path and God's path. You have dreams and hopes and so does God. you have a plan and so does He. I feel the calling to follow God's plan...to trust He knows what He is doing, that he will give me the desires of my heart...that He is good and has plans to prosper me. But, what if I let go of my plan and am completely forgotten, left stranded without a lifesavor? I know that this isn't true, but it doesn't mean that there isn't some sort of loss when you choose to follow God's path. That emptyness that you must feel and let stand in order for God to fill it. it still hurts. it still aches. but, it is worth it...to be willing to let go of my control, my holds, my fears and follow after life. follow after truth...knowing that faith is not feelings and just because I feel abandoned at times doesn't mean that I am. In fact, God tells us that He will never leave us or forsake us. I just need to cling to the truth, despite what I feel.
