Not Quite How We Thought

Ram-bull

I moved last weekend which was quite an adventure. My sister came over from Langley to help me clean. She's such a peach!
I'm really mixed up right now. I know God is challenging me. Everywhere I look I see challenge, God calling me to come up higher. I feel God drawing me deeper and deeper to himself. It's 'dark yet lovely' there is so much death, but so much life. I feel challenged in the words I speak. I don't want to speak just some empty words that hold no meaning. When I speak I want it to be out of love for Jesus and those around me, not selfish desire to put my two cents in. I feel challenged in my actions and how I relate to people. I don't want to do what is comfortable, but what is Holy, pure and pleasing to the Lord. Death is beautiful, but only because of the life that comes afterward. If there was no life after spiritual death there would be no point in dying. So I die more and more everyday. I love this verse:

Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 2 Corinthians 4:16-17

I turn to look at all that I 'should' be doing on earth and I am completely overwhelmed. I look at God's eternal purpose and plan and I am completely secure that he's got it all under control. See we are not on our own schedule but God's, if he has you in the desert right now, enjoy your time there. If you are on the mountain top enjoy your time there. Look at what God wants you to do today and he will lead you into tomorrow and next week, next year. Surrender whatever it is you're struggling with for nothing is too big for God.
