I cannot express more just how POWERFUL the Lord God is! I have been without work (and pay) for almost 1.5 weeks as we have been waiting for this transfer of service for my clients. As a single mom of one and being in the midst of an adoption this has been a very trying 1.5 weeks, but I have tried to remain as calm and patient as I could as I was uncertain just what God was wanting to show me through this time. Fearful that this would end with me having to let go of the precious little girl He has shown to me, my body became so numb with doubt, confusion, sadness and insecurity. Today God showed out! 1.5 weeks I waited. 1.5 weeks my faith began to falter. 1.5 weeks He called out to me. 1.5 weeks I grew weaker. 1.5 weeks His hand outstretched in front of me. 1.5 weeks I mourned. 1.5 weeks I grew bitter. 1.5 weeks I searched the darkness from the threshold of comfort... then I stepped into the darkness and saw His gaze in front of me. His hand outstretched waiting for me to take hold and walk with Him in His footsteps. Go boldly... Hebrews 4:16 God was present the whole time, but I was blinded and only saw what I wanted to see. Job 29:15, Psalm 146:8, Isaiah 29:18 God called out my name, but I was deafened to what He was was saying. I could not hear His words of comfort. Psalms 23:4 But God showed out in a BIG way! In my time of need He led me to the front door of a dear friend who poured His word over my head and guided my gaze towards His presence in that room. In just a matter of an hour God unveiled His plan: I go back to work on Monday! Lord help me to keep my eyes on you. Help me to walk faithfully in your shadow. Help me to take hold of your truths and know that just like you showed up today you always know the answers to my prayers and in time you will show me your plan, but I must always keep my eyes upon you. No matter what distractions try to turn my gaze from you, help me to walk forward in obedience, patience, love, forgiveness, humility, honor, compassion; with a spirit of godly character. Help me to be transparent for you to show through me. This life that you have given me is not my own to live out my selfish desires but rather a testimony of your faithfulness and mercy. Help me to stand in faith that I would not spoil your glory. Use my brokenness to reflect the brilliance of your beauty through the mended wounds of my past that others may be restored. Father direct my steps in accordance of that which you have planned for my life and its connection with those you have placed in my life. Thank you Lord for using me.
