Sometimes God takes us on a new adventure that we feel completely unprepared for. He calls us to jump. He says trust Me. God has a new adventure for me and my family. Initially I felt very unprepared, but as I began to pray and ask God for His peace, will and guidance; I began to see things differently.
Finding peace in the new adventure …
Trust in the Lord with all your heart …
Once I began to put my trust in Him and listen, I drove our neighborhood and looked at everything with a new set of eyes. God was preparing my heart to say good-bye. This preparation took months. Consequently, I am thankful that He gave me this time and that I listened to His call. The call for something new, something amazing, something that could only come from Him. He was desiring me to let go. I had to let go of the comfort of what I knew, familiarity. My heart began to long for new community. My current ‘home’ and community of friends have been a blessing, but God was asking me to expand it to a new area.
Then Moses said, “If you don’t personally go with us, don’t make us leave this place. Exodus 33:15
I do not want to go where He is not. His leading, not my own desires. God has opened doors that I never knew existed.
Do not depend on your own understanding …
Seek His will in all you do …
Looking for God’s direction in everything does not come natural. But when I do, I feel most at peace. If I had my way, I would continue to sit, play a game app on my phone, watch Netflix and Amazon Prime. I am pretty sure this is not His will for me. I read the bible and realize that God has much more for me than wasting my time wasting time.
And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. Romans 8:30
He has called me to something greater. I am positive, He has done the same with you.
