God's Thoughts Vs. My Thoughts

        "My thoughts are completely different from yours," says the Lord. "And my Ways are far beyond what you can imagine. For just as the Heavens are higher then the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My Thoughts higher then your thoughts."-Isaiah 55:8-9

           I was laying in bed last night and thinking about the way God is leading me. This verse came to my mind while I was laying there.  I went to sleep with this verse being the last thing on my mind. It calmed me down for some reason. It was actually nice to fall asleep with a verse in mind. I was thinking about where I am in life now and where I was. God has brought be through a lot and to be honest I was not on His Path for a year it seems like. I was trying to do things my way and trying to make my dreams come true but there is no way I can do that because my dreams are too big for myself. 
            God's way have been hard and to be honest I have not want to walk His Way a lot of times. He is making walk it through. He has asked me, "Do you trust me in this?" I never thought it would be hard to walk the way God is putting me. Never thought I would walk this hard and care for the people I do.  Not to sound bad but it's true. To get through something hard, it is something that I have to earn by God's wanting and timing. What I thought I wanted and/or needed was nothing that God had in mind at all. What I wanted it seemed like the easy way out and just a man or job that would be easy and that would give me everything I wanted  in the world. Yeah, that's a dream that will never come true espically if I'm living for God. 
             God's thoughts are not easy at all because they are higher then ours. They are made by the One True God and He can make up more then we can ever imagine. We can't even wrap our minds around what He has planned for us because His Thoughts are that high and wonderful. We might have this idea or plan but God's is always better. We might think we can just be the helper all the time or have this man that says the sweetest things about us but that does not get us any closer to God. God wants us to strive for a relationship with Him through everything we do in life from our everyday living to the person we spend the rest of our lives with if we have one. God is not just going to give us a person who says the things we think we LIKE to hear but will say the things we NEED to hear.  God is not going to give us a EASY job but a HARD one. He does that so we will have to rely and lean on Him. So we have to TRUST Him in everything.
                 God is going to give us things in our lives that we are going to need to Trust in Him to make it work. Our God is a jealous God. He only wants us to live our lives for Him whether single or married. If we trust Him enough to give us what we need, then we should be able to trust Him in anything espically in marriage. We need to depend on Him first because nothing can take the place of Him not even a guy. Women, just think of it this way-God Loves us more then anything on this earth. We are the apple of His Eye and He doesn't want us to get hurt. He knows us better and what we can do better then ourselves. We can take a job that is offered to us right away or we can step back and wait on something else that is really from Him.
                 It might sound like a great job going overseas and preaching the Good News or being in charge of a daycare or orphanage but that is only half of my dream not all of it. I might meet a guy that says the sweetest things about me but not what I need to hear. I will admit that I had to step back from something like that and really take a look at it to see if it was something from the Devil and you know what it was. There was some friends that I trusted that God put in my mind every time I talked to this person. I kept thinking you know what this is not what I need or want anymore. The other people know me and know what I need even if it is hard they have made me push towards God not away. I don't want to go preach to a group of older people, I want to go overseas and make a difference in children's lives. That's the passion God gave me. 
               For some reason I can't get that situation out of my mind lately and maybe it is because it is a situation where God was working in my life to make me see what I had before was perfect. Yeah, we will have hard times but that only gets us closer to who God made us to be. That makes us step out of our comfort zone and push towards greater things with God because now we know that is the only way it will work. No one can fill that hole in my heart where God was meant to be but they can sure strive me to get there and put God first in my life.  God knows our Boundaries! We just have to listen to Him and follow Him to know them ourselves. God will tell us our boundaries if we will just listen and pay attention. 

             REMEMBER: GOD'S WAYS AND THOUGHTS ARE HIGHER THEN OUR WAYS AND THOUGHTS. NOTHING COULD BE BETTER THEN GOD'S WAY!
