Thankful Thursday ~ God’s Plan

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
(2 Corinthians 12:9 ESV)

I often wonder about God’s plan for my life. I love the verse written by Paul from 2 Corinthians 12:9. It reminds that I when I am weak, I can rest on the power of Christ. I have talked about dreams in my most resent post at Laced with Grace. So many times in my life I have run in front of God; I thought that He approved of what I am doing.

Not until late last year, I realized that I had to give over control of my dreams. I have never truly surrendered my dream to God, because I thought I could make my dream come true on my own. God’s plan and timing is always perfect. I have to trust that He knows best.

So, this week I am thankful that I finally realized that God can help my dream to become reality. But I have to let go and all will fall into place. Don’t get me wrong, I still have to take some steps toward that dream, but I have to let go of the control. I am not sure if that makes sense…I hope it does.

What are you thankful for this week? Please do share with us by leaving a link to your Thankful Thursday post below.

Thank you for stopping by this week. Remember: sometimes we need to let go of control and let God lead us; not the other way around.

Love & peace,
Iris

Thankful Thursday ~ God’s Ways

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
~ Isaiah 55:8-9 (ESV)

I am thankful for the passage from Isaiah. Isaiah is proclaiming God’s grace and mercy to the ones who repent and turn from their ways; these particular verses give me great comfort.

I have tried so many times to do things my way, just to fall flat on my back. As I had mentioned last week, I have given it all over to the Lord. And no, I am not taking it back either. Many of you know that I love photography; I want to truly make a living off of it. But it is hard to find clients when you work full-time.

Over the last 5 months I had at least one client; which is really good for me. I am excited to have another booking this up-coming Saturday – Yahoo. Thank You Lord for Your provision in that field. Who knows where the next session leads 😛 – God is Good – All the time.

What are you thankful for this week? Please share in the comment section or by leaving your link to your Thankful Thursday post below; I will make sure to stop by 🙂 .

Thank you again for stopping in; remember: God’s ways are much higher than ours, trust Him with your thoughts and dreams.
