But God in all his wisdom and providence set me down and lined things out.
This was not about me.
I needed to stop being selfish and thinking poor poor me.
So I did!
He has such a way with things.
So I decided to open my eyes just a little and look for the good that could come out of all this.
I got to spend more time with my kids. They got to spend more time with me, and our relationship grew!
The relationship with the boys dad changed and is growing in a healthy way!
My work in Ministry is changing and growing!
and these are just a few of the things changing....
You guys so much is changing for the good. I know businesses are hurting and people are sick and believe me when I say my heart breaks for people hurting and sick.
I wish with all my heart I could change it but I can't. I can accept the will of God for my life and move forward with the path that He has laid out before me. He has already cleared the path, now it's up to me to take the steps.
It's the same for all of us.
He has made the way it's up to you to just take the next step and the next step.
I keep going back to Daniel and his life. He didn't have a fun life, but he made the best with that in which he was given. He knew that God was in control and it was his job just do take the next step. He took his next step humbly and faithfully.... I keep thinking that he had every reason to just throw his hands up and say nope .... but he didn't. He was faithful in what God asked him to do.
We need to be faithful even if it looks like sending out a message to a friend to get help for sleep. I am not doing so great and I just need some sleep. It's ok to not be ok with everything and it's ok to ask for help.
Daniel knew God heard him, he knew God was there and in control. I pray we all take a moment to realize and to remember we serve the God that spoke life into,... well life... and He listens to you. He hears you and He loves you. God has not changed from the time when David cried out to Him or Daniel or Moses. He is still the same and He still hears you! He loves you and He still has a plan. What ever God has put in front of you just step into it. Even when we don't understand or know what comes after that. He asks for us just to take a step. If we knew what was 6 steps ahead would we be willing to put in the work now in this season? If we knew what God had planned would we even believe Him?
So much good has come from all this bad, and I am ok with that, I have to be if I believe God is in control. Just like in the book of Daniel.... So much bad happened but God was in control every second.
Like Billy Graham said..." God has not abdicated the throne... He is still on the Throne!" I will keep putting my faith in God and know that what He has for me is so much greater then anything I could ever do for myself.
