Yesterday Stephen and I went on a walk with Matty, today we did college tours with Gav and I realized this week in six months Kate will be at college. We are entering a season of change and I want to say I am fully trusting God yet the reality is, I’m still holding on a bit rather than letting go and trusting God with this new season ahead.
I have such gratitude to be here to experience these moments beside them, but to be honest, I am beginning to process how our family of five is changing, from all being together, to Kate and Gavin soon branching out on their own.
The other morning I read something powerful and it is truly helping me shift my mindset about the future. What I read was…
“The praise for past gratitude is sweet, but even sweeter is the praise of full confidence that all will be well.” - C.H.Spurgeon
Rather than thinking about what is to come with sadness and uncertainty, this quote is making me take a 180 and give thanks for what is to come, without knowing what the future holds.
With God, all will be well. This doesn’t mean there won’t be bumps in the road, yet He can redeem the bumps and use them as stepping stones on our paths.
So if you too get uncertain about the future or are also in a season of change, I invite you to join me to…
pause. breathe. pray.™
May we look to God as a filter to see the future through. For when we do this, even though we don’t know what the future holds, God knows. Therefore rather than resisting what’s ahead, let’s give thanks for what is to come, trusting that all will be well, with Him by our side.
With love and hope,
Shawn
