Faith - Perspective from Amanda - CWJC

I extend my endless gratitude to God, for despite my stubbornness, He has found a way to get me to this most perfect place and time. Life has been a struggle for me at times, but when I began listening to my heart, amazing things started happening.

It wasn’t too long ago that I was wandering through life without direction and without passion. I was stuck in an endless cycle of lack and unhappiness. I had job after job. I knew there had to be more to life, but had no idea how to find it. I felt like I had hit a dead-end; trapped in a life I didn’t want. In reality, it wasn’t a dead-end; it was merely a crossroads where the paths of happiness and unhappiness intersected. There was only one choice to make. I had to choose a new life. And although I was ready to venture into the unknown, the idea was still terrifying. I didn’t know where to start, so I did the only thing I could think of – I prayed. I didn’t have all the answers, but I had a starting point.

I knew I had to follow my dreams; no matter what. I had to quit fighting what my heart had been telling me for so long. So I gave up control and trusted God to help me figure it out. I completely changed my life in a very short period of time by praying and having FAITH in GOD. And, it was all easier than I expected. When I quit fighting my dreams, I quit fighting God, and found this place my heart had been trying to guide me to for so long.

Today, I continue to follow my dreams and walk the path of happiness every day – picking dreams that grow like wildflowers along the way. And each day when I return, I find new dreams blossoming right where I picked the last ones. Amazing!

Nowadays, I have a better sense of where I’m headed. I ask God for guidance when I am unsure and He always says the same thing, “Listen to your heart. The rest will come.”
Thank you, God.
