When the music fades and I am coming back to the heart of worship... it is all about Jesus....
Sometimes in the stillness and quietness... when all the distractions have been taken away... it is humbling to be reminded that this life is not about me!
Please excuse the ramblings for the next few moments ... but there have been some things said recently that have been like a two edge sword... one side cutting in to take out the junk and the other used to heal and restore life.
My dreams... desires ... goals... ambitions... and thoughts should never take precedence over God's calling on my life. The sense of entitlement that often creeps in of I deserve... or I want... or I should... has to take a back seat to what the Lord ultimately wants. It is a strange place not knowing what the future holds but having complete trust on the One who holds my future.
In one way this is a new concept for me to grasp because I am a planner... I want to know what is coming next... but I am holding onto the fact that God has yet to let me fall. I am excited to see what He is about to do.
So to the question that has come up recently... what's next? Besides Africa for the next 3 months... I am unsure. It is unnerving... exhilarating... scary... and exciting all at the same time. I am not one that thrives on the unknowns but my God gives me the strength to go through these dark passageways.
I have my thoughts on what I would like the next step to be but as I was reminded recently... any time we put our priority before God's will we are setting ourselves up for destruction.
