Sometimes when I'm not even feeling particularly spiritual, and not focused on the things I should be, God works in mysterious ways and talks to me. Tonight it was on a friends' status. This is what it said, "Much, much stress results from your wanting to make things happen before their times have come. One of the main ways I (God) assert my sovereignty is in the timing of events. If you want to stay close to Me and do things My way, ask Me to show you the path forward moment by moment. Slow down and enjoy the journey in My presence." (Jesus Calling, Sarah Young). Me? Get anxious about stuff? Nah! Try to plan out our life and freak out? Never! I wish that was true. What is God trying to teach me right now? I have no idea, He is God, so how should I know? But, my best guess is that I am supposed to trust moment by moment.. so hard for me right now. What is specifically going on? Well, we've been here in Hooks for 1 1/2 years, so we're nearing a record of time over the past two years... I really like it here. Will we stay? Only HE knows, which can be so frustrating at times, but I have to trust him moment by moment. I feel like that post was just for me. It sure spoke to me. I mean, He sure spoke to me.
It's hard for me to be patient, too, and understand it all. We just keep trying!
