Like a large wave crashing against the rocks, it all hits me at once. I think the Lord uses times like this as a way to show me my insignificance and inadequacy. For nothing that is done, is done by me, it is His Spirit in me that allows my life to be a tool for God's glory.
It is strange how it happens, and how overwhelmed I can get in such a short instance. How life, ministry, family, friends, future and the little cares of this world can all build up and somehow consume me all at once. I was thinking about this tonight and experiencing this very thing, when the Lord revealed to me His plan. I believe that I needed a reality check or a wakeup call (or whatever you want to call it), the Lord showed me how huge He is in my life. He has given me such a huge ministry at church, in the community and to all the people around me. He wants me to realize that none of that has anything to do with me. God has chosen to use me to reach others. He has chosen to put me in a place in life where I can learn from others and grow in Him by the example of those in authority over me. God has given me two wonderful parents that love and care for me, that deeply desire to see me walk in His truth. God has placed me in a wonderful church family where I can grow with other young people and where we can encourage each other in our walk with the Lord.
God is so HUGE in my life that He just wants me to realize the work that He is doing and the lives that He is reaching and the glory He is bringing is all a part of His plan. Yes I am being used of the Lord to do those things for His glory, but it is a privilege for me to be used by Him as His vessel to bring Glory and Honor to Him alone.
No matter how overwhelmed I feel or how difficult things become, I know that I don’t have to carry on. My Lord is gently tugging at my heart to lay my burdens at His feet and give Him glory and credit for all that He has done in a through me.

The past, present, and future are in Your hands, Lord I give them back to You.
