Have you ever felt as if the world was moving on without you? Have you ever felt like you a ready for the next step, but are stuck where you are? Have you ever felt that you are ready to move on but just can't?
Right now I am in a situation where I feel like this. I don't know why! I know that the Lord's timing is perfect and I know that in my weakness I am made strong, but how do I take that knowledge that I have in my head and transmit it to my heart.
Today in church Daniel Henderson preached on prayer and he talked about how when we are going through trials and temptations we pray them away or most times give in so we don't feel the full extent of the hardship. Well I know that what I am going through right now is SO little compared to what Christians in various places around the world are going through, but I know that I want to get through this through Christ. I don't want to take the shortcut. I know that it seems like I am wishing torture upon myself, but really I see it as God pulling me out of my comfort zone. I have been too comfortable for too long.
I know that what I am feeling is nothing novel and that there are tons of people who feel the way I do. I know that this may not even be the proper place to vent my feelings, but I had to have an outlet. I know that in Christ everything is possible and if I delight myself in the Lord then he will give me the desires of my heart because when I delight myself in HIM His desires will be my desires. I won't want anything unless I know it is His will. Just something to ponder.
Stay tuned...
