Well, life happens, & 8 months later we are here. Many changes have occurred & people have come & gone (including youth pastors). All the while, I'm primarily trying to learn how to say the word "NO." I have transitioned out & back in at youth (Spanish Fort UMC), I've taken a new position at the University of Mobile (Campus Life Coordinator), & I'm attempting to figure out where Africa fits into this whole picture. All I do is rest on the fact that He is ultimately in control. I have been wrestling with what that looks like in a practical sense...
Do we just sit & rest? Or is rest just a feeling, not a physical state? We must be moving & acting in order for things to change. I would prefer a sign in the sky, but somedays it's not that clear. God also realizes His limitations... OH WAIT HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY! He doesn't limit. If we are in line with His perfect will, anything is possible.
Now how far does that go in my situation? That remains to be seen... or not seen, because maybe God is trying to stretch me & grow my trust in Him. Not everything in life needs deciphering. Sometimes it's as easy as: trust in the Lord & carry on. Other times, the next step is as clear as mud. God moves & works in all ways; in muddy waters or in crystal clarity, He moves.
We try to squeeze God into our plans or work or life when in fact He is the foundation of it all. What is a house without a foundation? It is merely a crumbling pile of bricks, not a place to call home. I put my rest in Him alone. He is my peace, my foundation, my everything.
Lord give me diligence to be in Your word & faith to live it.
