God is just so awesome! I've read many of the Psalms and looked at how God's love is described. But it didn't quite hit me until I read Psalms 139.
When I was thinking about all that God does for me it was just mind blowing. He knew me way before I was here! Even in the midst of my formation in my mother's womb He already knew what I looked like and how I would change as I grew older. There isn't a single detail about our lives that God doesn't know. But most of all He knew that I would be born into sin, and that I would go years enjoying sin more than being in his presence. He knew that I would have gifts, but before I used them for His kingdom I would use them to make myself feel important. Yet, He didn't take my gifts away.

Currently I am waiting to see how God is going to move in my life. There have been many moments when I (the overplanner) have been sitting aimlessly, almost twiddling my thumbs waiting. I have no idea where my next move is going to be. But I take joy in the fact that I serve a God that knows me. Psalm 139: 17, 18 "How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!" (NLT) He has so many thoughts concerning me, my life, my future. I cannot even begin to imagine what God has in store for me. Sometimes I'm blown away simply at how HE loves me.
I am in a place where so many see me. I put on a brave face, and tell everybody that my portion is coming. Yes, I believe it. But I would be lying and far from real if I told you that I didn't have any concerns. I am learning how to rest in God. It is easy to claim to have faith, but the execution is where it gets rocky. Faith is believing in what we cannot see. Faith is knowing that God will take care of us in any situation. Faith is remembering that God has plans of success lined up for us. Faith is relying on God to give us what we need, especially when we cannot picture how we can obtain it.
God loves His children so much. He desires for us to be successful. He does not want His children to be disadvantaged. He does not want His children to have to beg and borrow, but He'd rather us be the lenders. He wants us to prosper in health (3 John 1:2) even as our soul prospers.
I know that God loves me. If He doesn't do anything else for me, I know that He loves me. He gave his only begotten son for my sins! John 3:16, shows exactly how much He loved us. He gave His son that we may be saved from an eternity in hell. I am learning to stop stressing over things that I have no control over. I know that I serve a God who loves me unconditionally. So, when it comes to the things that I can work on, I will. But the things that I cannot control or change, I will leave to Him...

P.S. It's not over until GOD says, "IT'S OVER."
