We all experience change in our lives....sometimes it's not a welcome thing.
I am constantly changing into what God wants me to be...let me tell you it is a long process. I don't like to listen, you would think after 27 years of believing and wanting to live for Him, I would listen.
Nope.
So many things pull at me, knowing which one to go to is what the problem is. I pray, and He answers, but not in the timing that I would like. I want instant answers and clarification of what path to choose and how to get there. Not in His design, He has it all mapped out, but wont let me see it. Thank goodness.
Having a young teenager puts a bit of a kink in things. Am I to wait until he finishes school to walk the path that I feel is set before me? Am I to turn him over to Dad to finish raising, that would be very difficult to do. Does he go with me? If not his calling what would be the point? Even though I know somewhat of the path that is to be trod, I believe that waiting is the best possible thing to do. A glimpse is better that being completely blind to the next step. I'm good at waiting.
God wants me, mind, body and soul. Wholeheartedly, and completely. I say, here I am, use me. I know He is and will, in His time.
I think a lot of us get that confused. It's all God's timing, never our own. Sometimes God's timing is immediate, sometimes it's years. His plans are perfect and trusting Him is never easy, but necessary.
If we give ourselves up the way He wants us to, everything will fall into place. Then we can sit back and reflect on where He has brought us from. We will then see how everything unfolded in order to bring Glory to His Kingdom. That's what it's all about, Glory for His Kingdom, nothing more, nothing less.
So I say bring on these changes in my life. I welcome them openly, no longer will I be afraid of the future. God has me in His arms and walks with me every step of the way. Praise Him for that!
