Writer – Five Minute Friday
It’s that time again where we write for five whole minutes without worrying about anything but getting those words out.
Today’s prompt word is: Writer
Ready?
Set!
Go!
I don’t consider myself a writer, really. I knew from a very early age that I enjoyed putting my thoughts down on paper, but never really considered that one day I would be sitting before my computer composing my very own blog posts … OR that anyone would even care to read my rambling words on the screen. But, they do! You do! That’s why you’re here. And I can’t thank you enough.
Writing was a passion of mine back in high school. My English teacher encouraged me greatly when we were to keep a journal, and it has blossomed into this.
This week I was in an accident. I have a fractured hand and fractured hip to go with it. I was worried all week about keeping this blog going as I did not want to disappoint a reader. If someone came to my page seeking a new blog post, I wanted there to be one although I knew full well that I was incapable at that point of writing anything. My desire was to keep this blog going and rush back as quickly as I could to pour my words out for anyone that may have been waiting to soak them all up.
A writer … Although I never considered myself to be, I guess I am …
STOP!
God’s Perfect Plan
You know how you plan and prepare, yet things seem to fall apart at the most critical moment? We stress about it, worry over it, and thoughts consume us. At times, you may even lose sleep over it and feel physically sick when things do not work out as you had hoped and dreamed.
As things fall apart at the seams and may not have been what you wanted, God had a hand in this. He hasn’t left you. He will never desert you. He’s been right there this entire time, even when you failed to acknowledge Him. While this may have been a surprise to you, it wasn’t to Him. He knew this day would come. He knew what would take place. He was there watching as it all unfolded, ready to sweep you into His loving arms to offer comfort that only He can provide.
Dear sweet child of God, please know that when things don’t go as planned, God has a perfect plan that is much greater than anything you could ever imagine. He has it all under control, and He promised in His word that ALL things work together for the good of those that love Him.
So, you see, He has crafted His Perfect Plan for your life.
God tells us numerous times in His word:
Do not fear.
All of that worrying you’ve been doing, it’s time to stop. Have faith and trust in HIM!
All of the stress that has you up at night, it’s time to let it go. Give it to God. Let Him handle it for you.
All of the thoughts that consume you, ask God to help you turn to more positive thoughts. He will!
Do not fear, dear child of God. He has crafted a perfect plan for your life.
Let His love surround you as His will unfolds and God’s Perfect Plan is revealed.
When People Let You Down
It’s bound to happen in life. At some point or another, no matter what stage of life you’re in, someone is going to let you down. When you get your hopes up and pour everything into an individual, you set yourself up for disappointment. Man will fail you, but God will not!
Do you know this God I’m speaking of? The One and Only God. The Mighty One. The Ultimate Counselor. The Wonderful Prince of Peace. The Great I Am.
When you feel disappointment in your heart, right to the very core of your being, allow the Mighty One to wrap His loving arms securely around you. No matter what you’re facing in life, turn to Him, and He will help you through it.
Disappointment. Fear. Rejection. Insecurity.
They are NO match for our God!
Gather all of the shattered pieces of your heart and take them to the Mighty One. He will comfort you, love you, and take even the tiniest of those broken pieces and will make something new and wonderful in its place. He will restore what has been lost, and He will provide greater than you could ever imagine.
Our God is Mighty to save … your heart … your life … your disappointment … your brokenness …
Oh how He loves you!
