-Hold Fast-

When things happen that are out of our control, it can be very discouraging. It's easy, so easy, to become frustrated, to feel afraid, to question what the future holds. What I've been learning is this: putting our faith in God's plan allows us to trust that the events in our lives are meant to be. It brings us to our knees as we face these tough choices that must be made, and truly realize that things- that life itself- are really out of control (though praise God, it's out of mine)- they are under His...the Creator of the Universe. There is such a peace that can be found knowing that His plan us truly playing out in our lives. Holding fast to the truth of His Word and sharing that with others is one of the most important things to ever grasp- and one thing we will only ever be able to scratch the surface of. I am constantly reminded to be aware of how I am sharing Christ's work in my life, Christ's truth, Christ's neverending love. 
So...I know things can be confusing for you- for me- right now. But I just need to stay reminded to hold fast to this truth: that, above all else, God is in control. It's something that can sound so cliche, something that can be oh, so easy, to forget. May we trust Him and His plans alone, and above all else just follow Him, despite the difficulties, hardships, and through the joy and beauty. To pursue Him with all our hearts and souls. 
"I love you to the moon and back." But God loves you even more. If He is for us, who can be against us? It's grace. His grace. And that's all it can ever, ever be.
