There was a lingering question that haunted me, nagged me, and called me a failure. It laughed at me, angered me and at times it renedered me helpless. It was the blasted question of "why?" I rode that question like a wave. Sometimes I'd let it go and be ok with the unanswered question and sometimes it'd sock me in the face and dare me to fight back. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why God brought all the way around the world to the place He wanted me all along. The closest to the answer I could get was from my buddy Paul.
" Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am." Phil 4:11
That's the point. I have gone from living in overflow to getting back to my humble beginnings. Currently I have no job but I'm living with my family in a whole other state and it is clear that God has me hear. I am having to adjust to country life. Most ppl that know me know that I'm used to going going going. This is my transition phase. I must say that things are so peaceful and flowing. God is completely blowing my mind with the fundraising. Money is coming from all sorts of surprising places. I'm grateful. God is changing me so much. I'm more relaxed and no longer let things stress me. God is good. I'm in my "shadow" place, peaceful, serene and listening to heartbeat of my Father.
Rest
In the shadows that lurk
there is a safe place that I've come to call home.
A place so unexpected and care free
that it shocks me…rocks me….locks me in captivation.
To be in utter darkness not knowing what's coming next
is a scary place….or so I thought.
But I've learned to relax,
to soak in all in and inhale…to be tangled and caught…
up… in this amazing/crazy addiction called peace.
I've learned to let it completely engulf me
and throw all of my cares to the wind.
For in this secret place with me and Daddy,
it's the most awe inspiring, mind blowing, hair raising wirlwind of
surrender…
peace….
faithfulness..
and the most shockingly, display of love….Unconditionally
The shadows…
this new place…for me
under the wing of my God…the Almighty. (c)2012
