Providence… It’s a word that has been echoing within my soul over the past few weeks.  There is a notable Providence over my life, my acquaintances, my actions, my thoughts, my heart, and my future.  Where I may be led in life has already been foreseen and will be guided with divine care.   I do not know His plan for my life, but should I not have faith that the Being who breathed the heavens so great and vast and interlaced the quantum fabric of matter so small and mysterious has a providential plan for me?  He is the one who weaved my very existence within my mother’s womb.  God knows the longings of my heart long before I do.  For the aching and longing within my heart that has lasted years beyond my reason or want.  I must trust God’s Providence over my life in all things, there is a rhyme and a reason even if I know not why today.  Someday all will be revealed in good time.  Providence... It’s a word with weight, demanding of faith, and requiring trust that will grant peace in return.
