God is There... Through All of It

I was driving home from a babysitting job on Friday night and the radio was on. God really spoke to me in the song that had come on and I felt inspired to write a blog post, only to come on here and realize that it has been three months since I last wrote a blog post. The song that had come on the radio was Colton Dixon's "Through All of It." The gist of the song is the fact that through everything we go through in life, God is constant and has been our God through all of what we have gone through. There is also a line that says "life's been a journey," which spoke to me and the title of my blog.

Through my journey as a single woman, God was constant and He had a plan. I may not have felt that things were ever going to change and that I might never find someone who showed interest in me enough to start dating. There is one verse in the song that I feel speaks to where I was once at in my journey through singlehood. Here is that verse:

        You were there when it all came down on me
        And I was blinded by my fear
        And I struggled to believe
        But in those unclear moments
        You were the one keeping me strong
        This is how my story's always gone

Those unclear moments of when I felt hopeless, when I felt that I would never find a guy who was interested enough in me to pursue a relationship with me. God was the one who kept me going, kept me strong. The last part of the verse that says "this is how my story's always gone," speaks so true to me. There are so many times when I was at a point of struggling to believe things could get better, that I would fulfill my dreams and deep desires. This song was a great reminder of who God is and how, no matter what, He will always be our God... through all of it!!

I love the message that this song speaks and how it can speak on so many levels to people. This is just the way that God has spoken to me on the song. I wanted to share these thoughts with all of you because it is a message that I believe everyone needs to hear. We may not think things are going "our way" or that things will ever get better, but be encouraged to know that God is constant and will continue to be our God no matter what our circumstances are or what it is we are struggling with. You can always turn to God to be your solid rock, to be your stability. God has a plan and His plan will be fulfilled and completed. It may not be our plan, but that is okay. God's plan will always be better than any plan we could come up with. Be blessed and encouraged, friends! :)
