It is hard to believe we have passed the half way point! It has been a long time since I have blogged. Sorry! I have been extremely busy learning, growing & changing. As I wrote in my last blog “Growth means Change” that is even more real now. As I reflect back on my life there have been so many changes, but I have not always grown in the process, or I didn’t think about it. But I have!
As we move into the next month of ministry I will again be without much worldly access. At first this was hard, but as I learn to rest God keeps showing me more. It is hard for me to rest. So it is something that God keeps working on. Rest is a vital part of growth. Seeking Him daily to see what the future holds & where He wants me next is the key. Reaching out to others & ministering to them is where He has me at right now. I would never have believed it if someone would have told me 5 years ago that I would be doing this.
Who knew when I was born what my future held? God did! He has been molding me for this time. Thankfully, He is not done.
Who knew when I was in 2nd grade sitting on a bench at recess witnessing to a boy in my class what the future held for me? God did! Maybe my mom thought she did, but does she?
Who knew when I was being home schooled what my future profession would be? God did! I may have had my ideas, but is that really the plan?
Who knew when I was playing sports & loving it, that I would have 9 concussions in the future? God did! Even suffering one of them on the World Race taught me new things. Especially about resting! He uses everything for our teaching. He is always training us up.
Who knew that I would be a leader? God did! Even when others have told me over the years I am a leader & that I have a gifting for it. I didn’t believe it or like the thought of that.
Who knows exactly what my future holds? God does! He is molding me each step of the way. The World Race has taught me a lot. I thought I knew how to experience God, but He is teaching me more. It is growing me & changing me in ways that I would never have changed if I hadn’t taken this opportunity. It requires a lot of discipline on my part to do the things I find difficult. God is using this ground to continue to grow me into the person He wants me to be. I need to rest in Him & trust Him daily for so many things.
Be still, and know that I am God. Psalms 46:10?
Thank you for joining me on this journey. Thank you for your support! I am $10 away from my goal, which should be complete in a few days! God is so good!!!
Do you know where God is leading you? Do you open your heart & hands to Him daily to ask “What next?” He knows!!! Just ask Him! Every story is different. I would love to hear yours too!
God Bless you on your journey & thank you for joining me!
For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. On God rests my salvation and my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us. Psalm? ?62?:?5-8
