This is my memory verse for the last half of March. When I first decided to memorize it, the thing that made me like it was the reminder that God should be given glory, and that I was not made or designed for it. Which is very true, and I need to be reminded of this often. However, in the past week I have been more focused on the promise that God is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine. I have been convicted that my dreams are not too big, but not big enough. That God has something bigger and better planned than I do, so that when I want to feel discouraged because things are working out according to my plan, I can be excited to know that the reason is because God can do bigger things than I can even imagine. But I still must remember that He will work things out for His glory, and not mine.
I remember at the beginning of the year talking with Derek and both of us having this feeling that God was going to do something big this year. I don't have any idea what that might be, but this verse excites me because I know that God can do things I haven't even imagined yet. And honestly, I have already seen big things. Things that might not seem big to some people, but that are huge to God and His kingdom. So I know I need to remember that my definition of a big thing is not always the same as Gods, and that the ultimate goal is His glory and not mine. But it's still exciting. I love living with the hopes that my life in 5 years will look nothing like I imagined because God is able to do immeasurably more than that.

I love that verse, and even more, I love that it is TRUE! :) God can do such big things with each of us if we are willing to submit to His way of doing them! :)
