It's Going To Be Okay

There are many different emotions when it comes to change; especially when you are the one making the decisions that are causing the changes. Excitement, fear, joy, stress, relief, guilt, doubt.

Excitement for what’s to come. Fear for not knowing what that is. Joy because something is finally happening. Stress because “Now what?”. Relief because, no matter what the change was, the pressure of the decision isn’t weighing you down anymore. Guilt for possibly putting other people in not the most ideal situations. Doubt because “Did I really make the right choice?”.

I’ve been going through a lot of change in life lately. Some big decisions have been made and I still have some to make. It’s been overwhelming. I’ve cried a lot of tears. I’ve been overly stressed. I’ve been sleep deprived to the point of being physically ill. And while the choices I have made aren’t exactly my ideal, they are ones that needed to be made and will all turn out for the best.

I don’t know about you, but I have a hard time completely surrendering and truly believing that God has everything under control and has my best interests in mind (Jeremiah 29:11). I know I need to give it all to Him and not stress so much over everything, but that is a whole lot easier said than done!

I have to keep telling myself that I WILL get to where I want to be in life. The up and down, roller coaster of life makes that seem impossible sometimes, but, one day, it will. What may seem like detours right now, will all make since when I look back years from now.

It’s going to be a journey. There will be tears shed. There will be victories. There will be “delays”. But all in all, it’s going to be okay!

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” 

Deuteronomy 31:6

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens 

Ecclesiastes 3:1
