I have needed to hear God's voice, and He's been very quiet.
This man said that God was teaching me patience, time inside the cocoon he called it, and you know what comes after the cocoon.
He said God wants me to wait in His lap, to trust Him, to relax...
But most of all, he said that God was perfectly satisfied where I was in life.
Satisfied. That I have three jobs and barely two nickels to rub together. That I play drums and read and blog, that I am spending time with my family. That I fret over my bad points that He apparently doesn't care about. That I have no wife, no goals, no vision... that I am where I am.
He's satisfied.
In a spot in life where I feel like I'm wasting time or like I'm missing something, that is the greatest encouragement I could ever have.
Thanks God, for speaking up.
And thanks new guy.

ReplyDeleteI was abundantly blessed to share in that moment with you brother. You know it was the Lord speaking through that man. He spoke words over you as if he had known you for years, but in all actuality it was only a couple hours and neither of you spoke for more than a minute within those couple hours. Definitely a divine appointment. Love you E.
ReplyDeletewe're going through the same things sort of :) i've had to realize i'm not WAITING for life to happen. this is life. i cant miss it. and its not so bad living at home-haha. maybe i wouldnt have chosen where i'm at...but i think God's plans and His timetable are farrr more perfect than mine. sigh. life. haha
ReplyDeleteGods timing is always perfect, even when we get impatient waiting through the storm. Our faith grows stronger when we allow God to be in control and let our selves be obedient. Sometimes its amazing to look back and see Gods hand at work and know that no matter what you are going through you don't do it alone. It's refreshing to know that the storm will pass, and the Lords light is what guides us. As I write this I'm reminded of Gods gift, so I'm not sure if this is intended for me to hear my own words or for everyone to hear my thought, but no matter the content, God is in control, and I'm thankful!
