When God moves, He moves... This week has been a crazy whirlwind, and I am not even sure where to start. This has been one of the most stretching years of my life, lost jobs, friends moving, people dying, spiritual warfare like never before. All I have been able to think is, "what are you doing Lord?? Everything has gone CRAZY!!" I don't have any other choice but to keep moving forward....I mean, I guess I could "quit." The thing is...even if I did quit, my God would not. So what do you do? I mean really! What do you do?
The only thing I can think of, is to hold tight to the one who created me, stop asking "why?" open the Word and read about His love for me. How "all things work together for the good of those that love Him (Rom 8:28), He is my Light, Salvation, and the Strength of my life (Ps 27:1), He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee (I Chron 28:20), He has given me rest on every side (I Chron 22:18), He is with me whithersoever I go (Josh 1:9), He is my Hope and the health of my countenance (Ps 42:11), He leads me in a plain path because of mine enemies (Ps 27:11), He set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings (Ps 40:2), He has put a new song in my mouth (Ps 40:3), His lovingkindness and truth continually preserve me (Ps 40:11), and He is good; for his mercy endureth for ever (Jer 33:11)."
Those are just a fraction of the verses God has showed me this year to be my comfort, support, and let me know that there is a purpose for all things and all seasons. The trials made life difficult, but God's word became alive because I had to depend on them to get to the next day (without losing my sanity :~).
This week has been a little bit different than all of the other weeks this year. I am starting to see part of God's plan for my life open up....not just His plan, because every day is a part of His plan, but I am talking about HIS PLAN as in the things I have prayed for and hoped for, the burden of my heart. It has been a week of watching God move and just being in awe watching so many things come together, and come together FAST. It is awesome and scary and overwhelming and humbling...
I am at that point where fear and faith collide...I can walk through the door He has opened, trusting that He is my creator and protector and that THIS is His plan for this time in my life, or I can be afraid, over-think, over-analyze, and let fear have its way and stay home.
