Good, Pleasing and Perfect Will


Sometimes God just works things out in your life.  Currently, I am following God’s direction on a big decision in my life.  It has been a very slow process that started way back in September and is just now coming to fruition.  During this time I have questioned this calling.  I have been presented with multiple opportunities to go away from the direction that God was leading me.  During this time of waiting, it has been hard for me to stay focused, instead I have been pursuing other avenues, I have been questioning my calling and going down different paths.  God is so good to me, He is so patient and He has no problems SLAMING the door in my face either, which I needed a couple of times.

Recently, I was presented with 2 opportunities to go a different direction than what God is leading me both through friends of friends.  Both opportunities I investigated but felt no peace about and both opportunities ended up not being what I thought they were going to end up being.  One of the two opportunities ended up finding out terrible things about the person I would have been working with and I thank God for not brining me into that situation.

I was reading Romans 12 today.  Verse 2: “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will.”

Thank God that He has a good, pleasing and perfect will, now I just have to muster up the patience to wait for it to come about!

Center of God's Will

I was very blessed to go over to some new friend’s home last night and talk with them and others about life in general.   As the topic turned solely to missions late in the evening (as this couple used to travel around bringing the good news to kids around the world, and then lived in a different country for 3 years sharing the gospel) I said something like, it must feel amazing to be right in the center of God’s Will.   To have to rely on Him for protection from the most random events; to have to rely on God to take you out of situations that are dangerous; to rely on Him for every provision that you are given; and most importantly, to be brining the message of Christ to all nations under heaven.   Can you imagine?   Knowing that you are supposed to be right where you are, doing what you are doing, right when you are doing it because you have to, and have chosen to, rely on God for every little aspect of your life.   Well friends, I am not out spreading the me...

Daily Bread

I have a dog.  He is cute , but he is still a dog.  That means that he is reliant on me.  He likes me no matter what, If I am not around him, he flips out a little and has anxiety.  If others try to claim him or take care of him when I'm not around, he growls and barks at them.  My dog's name is Spike .  He is a Yorkie.  I promised my husband if he got me a girlie dog, I would name it something masculine so he wouldn't have to go outside and yell fru fru when calling our dog.  Spike knows that I take care of him.  He knows that my husband and I are the two that take care of him the most.  The kids try to play with him and he runs to us with the toys.  The kids try to take him out and he only comes back when one of us calls him.  He knows our voice and respects our voice.  He also is needy.  Like he relies on us to take him outside to do his business and to feed him and give him water.  Spike will let us know ...

Let your light SHINE!

Last night, a dear woman inspired me to think a lot about light.   Light and darkness…   One of the most impacting sermons of my teenage times was when I was spelunking (caving) in the Ozarks at camp Kanakuk.   They took us into an inner room in the cave, one God had hollowed out.   And there we sat.   The only light was from our flashlights, which they then told us to find a seat and turn off.   I had never experienced such darkness.   It actually hurt your eyes it was so dark.   We held our hand up in front of our face and couldn’t even see it.   Utter and complete darkness.   Then, our leader started preaching.   He said that the world is like this cave.   The world is a dark place.   It is full of sin and hatred.   It is musty and dank from stagnation and mold.   But then Jesus came.   And he became a light to the world.   At this point, he turned on one little flashlight.   It was a flashligh...
