Hello sweet friends! It’s been a while I know. Sometimes God blocks our abilities in order to sit with Him and allow Him to fill and strengthen us. He’s done just that. He showed up and showed out. See, back in April I wrote to you about being in the in-betweenness in my life. I abruptly decided that the job I had planned to move into was not what I wanted after all. I began the search for what I really wanted to do. It’s hard for me because what I really want to do is to write, make videos, and help folks. Unfortunately, that won’t pay the bills. I also had to pour my focus on the job search and pull back on my dream of having a life coach business. Although it’s almost ready I had to focus on my main source of income.
On May 31st, I left many wonderful friends and will walk into a position where I know no one. Yep, a tad scary but God was in this all the way. In the beginning, all I received was one rejection after another, and in the end, I had several offers on the table. I constantly prayed that I be placed somewhere in His will for my life. A few weeks ago, my pastor gave a message on Joshua 4: 1-4, where he discussed marking and remembering what God has done in our lives just as Joshua had gathered the 12 men from the tribes and asked them to mark by stones the end of their journey across the Jordan River into the Promise Land. The key here is the men were to pick up the stones from the middle of the Jordan and carry them to the end. In the middle or as I’ve been in the in-betweens of my life lately I too, have picked up God’s messages of goodness and am carrying them into my journey as well. This passage of Joshua came back up on May 31st in one of my daily devotions. Yes, it is another reminder of telling and marking God’s goodness and provisions. When asked how we made changes, healed, or overcame our obstacles we are to tell all about everything He’s done for us. Just like Joshua, we need to remember. Lives are filled with anxiety, bad circumstances, relationships, job changes, and all the other madness of our world lately, but if we remember what God has done before it’s easier to trust even, if we are fighting for our own control. All we are in our lives are walking talking witnesses of God’s daily mercies of goodness. I’m not going to lie here; I have been worried and terrified of this change in my life but although I knew God was right next to me showing me the path I couldn’t give Him full control for long at a time. But God…..I had to let go of all control and allow Him to be God. God is good, ever-present, and I’m so grateful He loves me to guide, direct, and provide my needs. Grateful that I am on this healing journey with you. I can’t wait to see what He does next!
