"trapped by the search for significance."

in preparing my testimony, i found this quote from this article on one of my favorite websites, relevantmag.com. it was a blog/article feature called "Deeper Walk" and can be found here!

reading the article brought a lot of truths in my life to the surface (aside from being of mixed decent of course) and the final paragraph struck a chord especially. please read the whole paragraph, but below you can find my favorite part:


"As I grow in my relationship with God and sense His enduring commitment to me, I see that His plans for me are greater than anything I could have imagined. God hears my cry for significance and whispers, "I put those longings in your heart because I have plans for you. I gave you that voracious hunger for greatness and beauty and purpose because I'm calling you to serve Me and reveal My purpose.?""


above all else. even at this point and not having any idea what awaits me in the coming months and years, i can be assured of this: that His plans for me are greater than anything I could imagine. i have been told that even if it's hard to believe, you just have to keep repeating to yourself the promises of God and eventually your heart and mind will be molded to match the truth that you know. that has been my problem most of life, i know what i am reading and learning is true, but my heart and mind are still trying to fully grasp and apply those truths.

pray for truth to continually be revealed and also the patience for God to reform your heart to fit it in.
