His Will...

This is just a short blurb on what I have been learning...

I have learned a great lesson that relates to support and getting to where I so badly want to be, that I want to share. I have been a little down and out because my support raising isn't going quite as quickly as I had hoped it would. As usual, G has a plan and teaching in everything. I realized on Sunday that I am not living in G's will for me, now. I am 110% convinced that G's will for me is to be in Kazakhstan, BUT the reality is that His will for me right now, at this present time, is to be in Pensacola raising support. What I have realized was that while I am content of what His will is for me in the near future – I haven't been content with what His will is for me right now. If it were good for me to be in Kazakhstan at this moment I would be there – "For Jehovah Gd is a sun and a shield: Jehovah will give grace and glory; No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly." –Psalm 84:11. My attitude has changed and my spirit feels at peace for the first time in a while because I know that G is good and that He knows what is good/best for me! I am still praying for a specific time frame, but ultimately it is up to Him!

I've learned as well that this is really the first thing in my life that I feel like I am not competant at. I've always been able to do everything I have set my mind to. I think we all say, "I trust Gd, He is in control" but the truth is, while we are trusting Him - we have a part in most things. Well, this is the first thing I have ever done that I really truly have to trust G with all of my heart because He is the only one that can do this! It is so freeing to trust Him and to know that control is not in my hands! His timing, His will, His control - it is all perfect and good!

"Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LRD rejoice!
Seek the LRD and his strength; seek his presence continually!"

Psalm 105: 3-4
