There are times in life when one takes a step back, looks at the situation, and wonders, "What in the world is going on?" Such was the case this morning. If I could ask God questions, there are a few I might like to know about, but we are not called to ask questions, we are called to trust. He knows, He has a plan, and He is in control.
When life dumps an extra load of dirt on me, God doesn't want me to give up. He is, instead, preparing me for what lies ahead. Perhaps, what feels like a heavy load is really that which will provide the strength and courage to ford the next river or weather the next storm. (Yes, this another one of those mysterious posts with no real details... It is purposely vague.)I have learned over the past several years to know when God is working something bigger in my life and He is working once again. He is teaching me to trust. I hope I am learning.
Go with Him...He never leads us astray. Keeping you in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteMartha if you had asked me, I would have agreed that you took that load to the right place.
ReplyDeleteWhatever is going on in your life, I've no doubt that you ARE learning to trust Him. Prayers for strength and direction.
ReplyDeleteI guess like Paul, we never arive, but continue to press on. I do know He is trustworthy..so keep trusting, answers may be around the corner.
ReplyDeleteI love that "He knows, He has a plan, He is in control".
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the next challenge percolating up, you can almost feel it's arrival and have to steel yourself to overcome.
ReplyDeletean extra load of dirt ... perhaps perhaps to nurture you gardens.
