Here I am again. In a place I thought I was past. I thought I had gone through this wilderness already.
But here I am again.
I will be the first to admit - I don't understand God's plan. I don't see things the way He does. I see things from my limited view, and from where I sit, I have the perfect solution.
But what I've learned time and time again, is my ways are not God's ways. He sees the whole picture. He sees what I need to learn to make me more like Him. He sees what is best for everyone involved. He sees His Kingdom plan.
So even though I feel like I'm back in the wilderness, wandering around looking for the Promised Land, I have to follow His lead and go where He takes me. I have to stay on the path He has put in front of me.
Right now I'm only seeing the step I'm on. But I know when He's ready, He will show me the next step in the path. Until then I will wait. I will keep reading His Word, keep communicating with Him, and continue to seek His will.
I will continue to look for ways to help those around me. I will continue to look for His direction.
I will see interruptions as opportunities to do something for Him. I will live my daily life trying to be more like Christ each day. I will raise my kids to glorify God even when they don't see answers. I will be a supportive wife. I will be a friend to those that need it.
Am I perfect? NO WAY! Do I struggle? Absolutely. Do I always get it right? Not even close. Am I trying? Definitely!
If you are like me, and find yourself in your own wilderness, take heart! You are not alone. I am right here with you! And God is here to guide us to where we need to be. Let's do this together!
Hugs!
