Hello again, I thought a blog might be nice about now (and if you’re envisioning me saying words like “about” and “out” with a Canadian accent…well you’d be right, I have adapted to my environment, I’d say I fit in all right…)…first I’ll start with an excerpt from the book “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young.
April 2 –
Now the reference verses for this TRUTH – Philippians 4:19 “And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus” and 2 Corinthians 4:17 “For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.”
I know that it is already April 3…but I just wanted to share with you the TRUTH that God shared with me through His Word, and through Sarah’s book. Recently, stuff’s been kinda difficult (could I be anymore vague…perhaps…) but I’ve been struggling with who I’m supposed to be, what I’m supposed to do, where I’m supposed to go from here. Where is God calling me? Who is he calling me to be? Why don’t I feel like I’m getting a clear answer?
These are still questions that I have. So far I’ve only had answers in the form of where God ISN’T calling me to be…at least at this time in my life….but I recognize that it is in these trials, these questions, this uncertainty where I am being pruned. That the “useless” branches are being cut off, and those that bear fruit are being cut back, that they may bear MORE fruit than before (John 15). It’s not an easy or pleasant time…but I trust God. Ultimately that is my truth, that I trust God with my whole heart…I trust Him with my life, and I trust that he has a purpose for my life, “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit–fruit that will last” (John 15:16). I trust that God will use me in some way to further His Kingdom. Until then, I will rest in His Peace.
