This morning my team mate Michelle and I took a prayer walk around all the places our team has been this past week where God has introduced us to someone or did a work of ministry, thanking God for each place and person and praying for them.
We all prayed this morning what God wanted us to do as teams of two and I believed that He wanted Michelle and I to do that walk. It was raining outside but if this is what God wanted then I figured He would cause the rain to cease since I had no other dry clothes to wear (all my clothes were outside “drying”. It’s been raining a LOT the last few days) So we went to the roof top to pray, and as soon as we started praying the rain stopped 🙂 I thought at first maybe I should take a rain jacket just in case, but then I thought “Where’s the faith in that?!” haha!
We started walking up the hill I mentioned in my blog ‘Exploring new territory’ and once we got to the top I started thinking about how much God has done in just the last 6 days! It’s kind of like my mind was still trying to catch up and come to the reality that it all really did happen! There is also still more to come as its only been one week out of 11 months.
After walking around the whole area that we wanted to, we stopped at a place right next to where we are all staying to get a soda. We talked with a man there, during which time it started raining again. But once we decided to leave and meet with the team at our place, we stepped out and all of a sudden the rain stopped again. The Lord kept us dry the whole time from the start of our walk to the very end! 🙂
Once we got back I started thinking about how in America I would often feel like I was meant for more, that I wanted more, or that I’m not doing a whole lot for God, or that He felt kind of distant, or maybe I’m not doing something right… but I think He was actually just preparing me – because as soon as we arrived in Belize, He really let us have it! 😀 So much has happened it’s been almost difficult to keep up in journaling and blogging about it, let alone grasping the fact that the last 6 days were real. The divine appointments, open doors, opportunities, insight, the ways God has been speaking to us individually…
If you are a Christian and really seeking God and His will but you feel like not much is happening, trust that God has plans for your life and trust in His goodness and timing – be content with your life and where God currently has you and just abide in Him daily. When you are ready, He will not only bring the rain – it will pour… 😀 All that God has for you, no one can take away.
“LORD, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine.”
– Psalm 16:5
