You are amazing, and I never cease to be amazed by the way you do exactly what I need when I need it sometimes. I was sitting here...in the quiet of my living room, tv off, just the sound of cars occasionally driving by, a few birds, and the clock my grandfather made ticking in the background...and instead of focusing on You in the stillness my mind started to become very "human". I let my mind wander and start to think about the future and where you might be leading me...and then doubt, and worry, and fear started to creep in. I let myself begin to wonder how this could all work, and I started to feel very overwhelmed, and confused. But then, just when I needed it a dear friend from my trip posted something on our trip web page that I knew was YOU speaking directly to ME! Here are the words she wrote that spoke to me!
"Only the Lord! Don't sell Him and His vision for your life short. His plans for you are SO much higher and longer and deeper than you could ever ever imagine. Our God is not a safe God, His love is scandalous and He'll go to any length to show us this. That's what I learned today. That I am a judging sinner...that I still doubt the Lord, that I still short change what He's capable of. But man oh man friends. When you step out in faith asking that the Lord prove Himself faithful. HE WILL DO IT. He will do it! Because He longs to show you what a Faithful and Awesome God He truly is."
So, God, I will continue to step out in faith believing that you WILL do it!! And that YOU WILL show me the way and prove Yourself Faithful through it all!! Thank you, Lord for once again showing me how much you care and want to be part of my life! Thank you for speaking to little old me!! Thank you for caring about even the number of hairs on my head, and proving to me time and time again that YOU are ALL I NEED!!!
