Learning and growing

Today, I was asked the question "What has God been teaching you?"

I feel like the answer to this question could go on for days.  I am in such a season of growth and learning, I couldn't even begin to describe all that God has been teaching me about myself, others, His plan and His heart for His people.

In an effort to pick one main thing that I have been learning, my answer was "He is teaching me to trust."  Even that answer could be explained for hours.  The last year has been filled with joy, great accomplishments, struggles, excitement and feelings ranging from incompetence, insufficiency and doubt to acceptance, responsibility and assurance.  It is safe to say that in my 22.8 years of life, the last 0.8 has been the most stretching, rewarding, challenging, terrifying and exciting.

Through all of the twists and turns of this path that God has laid out for me, He is CONSTANTLY showing me that He is worthy of my trust.  Not that He has to prove Himself, but He is certainly showing me that He knows what's best even when I am convinced that my plan is the best plan ever!

Also, when you get to a place where you can REALLY trust that God has a great plan for your life, no matter what happens...everything is going to be amazing.  He knows what's next, and He has promised that what's next is good.

Romans 8:28 --  "We know that in ALL THINGS, God works for the GOOD of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose."
