Hello, my name is Hallie and welcome to my blog. I am wanting to start sharing what I am learning throughout my life. I think it is so important to take what you learn and apply and share with friends. Let’s jump into what I have learned the past 3 months about change, new seasons, and trusting God.
Around three months ago I started a new job. This job was something I prayed about and had peace about this new season I was starting. With a new job, change was inevitable. Change isn’t always comfortable. For me, I was very excited but it didn’t really hit me until I turned my 2 weeks in at my job.
My last 2 weeks at my job was full of emotions. I was so excited for the next chapter but sad because I was leaving a place I spent the past 2 years of my life at. I have memories that will last a lifetime. If I said these weeks were so easy and nothing came against me I would be lying. I remember myself crying in bed because I let emotions and fear take over. I didn’t want to go through a new season without guidance. I talked with my dad about what I was feeling and realized I was talking and focusing on what I was fearing rather than speaking what God had to say about the situation. So when I felt the fear rising up I would pray and shift my focus to what God’s word says about my future.
Jeremiah 29:11 NLT For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”
Psalm 32:8 NLT The Lord says, "I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.
Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
The first 2 weeks of getting in my new position had its challenges because it was all new. New job task, new scenery, new people, new everything. I questioned my decision almost every day. I felt overwhelmed and out of place. I am so thankful for my family because they would encourage me and remind me that I prayed about this change. All I knew to do was pray and seek God every single day. I started to seek him in a deeper way. He was my source in every area. My strength, my joy, my patience, my passion, my understanding, my everything. He has never left me and always provides. So thankful for the people He has placed in my life to encourage and support me.
The 10th of November marks 3 months working at my job. It seems like I’ve been their way longer but not long at all. (I know that doesn’t make sense lol) I have learned to trust God. My faith has grown because I had to put that to action and God showed that He is faithful. I am learning that what you focus on will be magnified and having the right perspective is key. Your focus is very important. Instead of focusing on things of this world, focus on what God says and the authority He gives us. It is so important to know God’s word because when things of this world try to come up against you, you can go to the word and confidently know that YOU are going to win.
God has a plan for you. He has the BEST for you. He is your source and he supplies all our needs. He loves you and desires a relationship with YOU. I encourage you to trust God and remain trusting Him. Have faith and take Him at his word. ALL His promises are YES and AMEN.
I am so excited to start this journey and hope it encourages someone. I want this to be a place where you can see you are not alone and God loves you some much. Until next time.
Love,
Hallie Price
