God sometimes uses the strangest circumstances to break us and mold us into what He wants us to be. This whole past year He has been teaching me over and over how important it is to just trust Him when I don't understand. He has a plan for everything in my life and I don't have to understand just why He does what He does.
Sometimes God has to take the nearest and dearest things closest to our hearts away from us. Sometimes it feels like we are falling apart at the seams and we don't understand why He is taking away the things or people that we love most. Sometimes He has to break our heart so that He will fit inside of it.
We love something else too much. It becomes too close to our hearts and we are not walking with Him like we should. When He takes away the things that are between us and Him, He becomes only closer and more dear to us. He can't fit in our heart if we are full of something else.

Prayer is one way that we walk with God. Being in a class that focuses on prayer has really been a blessing this semester. I'm learning so much about praying and how close I can stay to my God when I am praying all the time.
To me, walking with God is like a treadmill. When you're on a treadmill, you have to stay at the exact speed it is going at. If you go too fast, you will run into the front of it. If you are going too slow, you will fall off the back.
I think it's the same way with God's will for our lives. We have to be walking perfectly in step with Him or we will run into trouble. We can't get ahead of Him or go faster than He wants His will to unfold and if we drag our feet, we are in just as much trouble with that. We have to walk directly in step with Him.
Walk with your God today. He loves you and is waiting for you to trust Him with those close things in your heart that you can't tell anyone else. He will listen and only He can do anything about them anyways.
Love the Lord with all your heart and make your life count for Jesus!
Always,
