life. love. jesus.

"'for i know the plans i have for you,' declares the lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and i will listen to you. you will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.'" -jeremiah 29:11-13

sometimes it feels like life is super complicated, and there aren't always easy answers. there is no "how to" guide that provides step by step solutions for every situation under the sun. many times it comes down to simply walking with the lord and allowing him to guide your steps. so much easier said that done...

walking with god does not guarantee an easier life. in many instances, it almost guarantees the opposite. however, there is one thing that allowing god to lead does guarantee: we will never be left to accomplish anything on our own; he promises to be with us every step of the way. gotta love his promise to stick by our side no matter what. i know i do.
