I knew what I was passionate about and what my heart desired, but was that truly God’s best for my life?
My five-year plan? Done. Ten year? Planned to the t. My life was dreamed up, set into motion and I was ecstatic about all I was going to do for God. I was going to do big things for the Kingdom. Mighty things.
I realized one day while sitting on a wooden park bench overlooking Seattle’s Space Needle (my favorite spot to pray and journal), that I had accidentally planned God right out of my plans. I was having so much fun dreaming up an amazing life for Him that I forgot it’s only amazing if it’s designed by Him.
I didn’t wake up the next morning knowing God was going to flip my life upside down in the best way possible, but little by little, Christ began shifting my priorities and allowing me to dream a little bigger.
