He’s quieted me. It just seems like where as I used to try and come up with great words to encourage people, he doesn’t give me much to say anymore because he wants me to learn to listen to him more. There are certain times when he gives me words to speak (as an encourager to a dear friend)….but for the most part, he’s told me to be still.
He’s given me a trust…true trust in His plan. Instead of being the old me and trying to work things out towards what he shows me is in his will, I’ve learned to simply quiet my soul before him and speak the words he calls me to and complete the actions he calls me to complete. It’s keeping me from heart ache and preserving one of the greatest blessings a man can recieve…making me wait for that blessing because this harvest is not yet ripe. But I’m content in waiting for him to ripen the harvest…it’s an amazing journey.
He’s teaching me patience through this fund-raising. I’m doing all I know to do to reach out and raise the money, but I’ve only been able to get about $500 of certain support. The situation seems bleak, but oddly enough I have a peace that the money is going to come because this is God’s will for me. I just keep seeking and he puts me at peace.
I will wait on the Lord…my soul waits.
