Help

As I've said before one of the reasons for this blog is to help keep me accountable.  Last fall I had the privilege of hearing Judy Kennedy speak.  She spoke on the subject of seasons. About how God had reasons for different seasons in your life.  That there is a time to give and a time to receive.  She made a statement that has stuck with me over the these last few months.  "There is nothing you can do to change the season you're in."  I must admit I have wrestled with this statement.  Sometimes I love it and other times I hate it.

You see it was the end of July when the Lord revealed very clearly to my husband and I that it was our time to leave the ministry we were a part of.  We weren't sure what the next step was after this but we knew we needed to be obedient.  This ministry was all we knew as adults.  It had been our lives for the last 14 years.  Some people would tell us don't worry you're being obedient God will show you what is next and it'll be quick. But to my dismay, my fix it you can do anything if you work hard enough self, it has been a time of receiving a season that I cannot change.  I like the giving season and that's where I wanted to stay.  Before I entered this season I could easily judge others in it as lazy.  I have learned that in rushing to fix things on my own I missed out on seeing the faithfulness of God.  I will admit I struggle in this season and I desperately want to do what ever I can to get out it.  As you're reading this, can you see I struggle with PRIDE?  For me stepping out of ministry has been a struggle with title but the only title you need to be in ministry is Christian.  I think sometimes I rushed so much to do "the ministry" I missed the opportunities all around me.

Today I'm struggling.  I want to rush into the next thing that God has for me.  I want to know what it is. I could be content in knowing, but I think God is asking me to be content in Him.  Judy also said "if you rush through your season you'll miss it."  I don't want to miss it.  So I'm going to post some scriptures to encourage myself and anyone else whose struggling with me today.

The title of this is help I'm open to your advice too.

Psalm 46:10 
He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I willbe exalted in the earth.”

Psalm 37:7

Be still before the LORD
and wait patiently for him; 

1 Peter 5:7
Live carefree before God; he is most careful with you.
