There is Immeasurably More for You



Truth is, you're going to have moments where you feel like it's the best day ever, full of joy from all your friends, passionate about where your life is going. 
And days which feel the exact opposite. 
Lonely, directionless, your life quieter than normal. Times where you feel like you aren't exactly where you would like to be at the moment. Whether that is direction-wise or a long day at home.

First off, you're not alone. I feel that a lot. The feeling where you are not where you want to be.


I like to call myself a dreamer. I know what God is capable of doing, so my dreams are a little elevated above the "possible" scale to the "seems impossible right now" point. But I like it like that. I believe that anything seems possible when you pray about it. It slips from our realm of possibility to God's realm and nature of making impossible things happen.

Part of the reason why I dream this big is because almost all my dreams of serving the Lord are different than my families... so it's a bit out of the familiarity level. Sometimes there are days when they don't understand the dreams I have. 
Sometimes our dreams are going to feel unfamiliar and out of the scope of what you are used to. But those my friend, turn out to be the greatest ones.
I'm currently at a point where I have all these passions in my heart and I have no idea how things are going to go about from here. I know what I would like to do, but where I am planted right now seems just about the opposite of where I long to be. And I know that God certainly knows all of this. Where I am and where my heart is. I think He also honors that. I certainly don't think He has a problem with the dreams in our heart (with the right intents of course). Yet even for some of them, he placed them there. 
Sometimes where we are at can seem completely out of our hands, but that's where the trust part comes in. There are days when I struggle at this, but it mostly always leads to crying this out: "Lord, help me trust you". It's normal to struggle with trust, but remember that we are imperfect and His power works BEST in our weakness! 
The journey may not look exactly how we pictured it, but God, you see, He never disappoints in the end. Take a moment to pause and take in this verse:
"Now all glory to God, who is able through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think." Ephesians 3:20
Know that this applies to you and your life. You aren't counted out!
I get intrigued by that word "infinitely more". In some versions it says "immeasurably, exceedingly, and abundantly more". I like those words. They say sooo much about God's character.
And what about this verse:
"For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
Plans for good. Good plans. Plans in which you will enjoy. Plans that will make your heart come alive.

God didn't bring you here just to leave you. He didn't forget what is on your heart. He didn't forget the prayers day in and day out with your deepest desires. 
Even if the journey doesn't look how you want it to, trust that He is fully aware. Though you have to endure it, never stop praying about it. Pray it into motion. Pray when you are frustrated in what you are doing, pray for strength and heart where you are at. Know that He is for you and not against you. And along the journey... He will surprise you! With something bigger than you imagined in the fist place. Can we all just dare to have that kind of faith? Dream some childlike dreams y'all! Pray with a childlike faith! And watch what God can do. Another thing, try doing what you can in this season. Practice a skill, start taking tiny steps with the materials you have to help you move forward. I like to sing, and I know that God has something coming there (even if I don't know what), so I'm doing vocal exercises to get better at it. Those tiny steps of preparation matter. God will use them.

I hope this encouraged you guys wherever you're at, and know that I love you and am here for you! If you need prayer on your journey, reach out!! insta: rithikaarya

I'd love to talk and pray with you.

I wish you all the best on this journey in trusting God!
