Hello all! Long time no blog! I am done making excuses for myself, so I hope you can just forgive me for not writing in quite some time once again, and I hope you stick around for great things to come. Today, I just thought I would write a little bit about something that changed majorly in my life since God truly found me and called me to him and to Jesus.
Before September of 2016 I was lost. There were many things I was struggling to overcome by myself, and little did I know that the only way to overcome these things was to be faithful. However, at this point in my life I had decided to become an actress. I decided that I was going to go to college for acting and try my whole life to make it big. I was kind of in denial at this point that I was doing it not for fame ,but for myself. However, once my heart was changed this dream of mine slowly started to become less important to me. Now do not get me wrong, I still love to act, but I feel a different calling. I no longer feel as though I was meant to be an actress, I feel like I was called to something more. I feel God telling me and calling me to serving others, and helping others. I now know in my heart that I was meant for something different, not acting, but something else. I feel as though I was put on this earth to help people who are in desperate need.
If you told me a year or two ago that I wouldn't end up spending my life being an actress, I would have told you that it must be because I gave into the pressures of others. I would have said that I would feel unfulfilled if I wasn't trying to be an actress. However, here I am. I am no longer focused on acting, but something different, and something that is more than I could have ever expected or asked for. I am more fulfilled than ever, and it is a beautiful thing.
I am in a wonderful place because of what God brought me too. However, if I didn't give every single aspect of my life to God, I would have never gotten to this point. Part of why I am so fulfilled, and so content, and filled with passion is because I didn't cling to my wants, but I let God take control. I am not saying that my relationship with God and with Jesus is perfect because it isn't. I fail often, I fall, I make more than my share of mistakes, but through all that I strive to come to God to help me get through all of these things.
So I am writing this post to tell you, please,please, just let God take control. As Lauren Daigle says in her song Trust In You, " Letting go of every single dream, I lay each one down at your feet". I am not saying that all your dreams and goals will go away, maybe God wants you to pursue that dream, but make sure that you secure that dream with God, and make sure it is aligned with His will for your life.
Thank you,
God bless you,
Elizabeth
