Just For You
This morning I decided to read Jesus Calling – my how God works in extraordinary ways! The past few weeks have been extremely confusing – we have been wondering what God is trying to do in our life. He has given us so many blessings and things to think about, yet we have no idea what to do with the things He has presented before us. So this is what I read this morning:
You are on the right path. Listen more to Me, and less to your doubts. I am leading you along the way I designed JUST FOR YOU. Therefore, it is a lonely way, humanly speaking. But I go before you as well as alongside you, so you are never alone. Do not expect anyone to understand fully My ways with you, any more than you can comprehend My dealings with others. I am revealing to you the path of Life day by day, and moment by moment. As I said to My disciple Peter, so I repeat to you: FOLLOW ME.
Bam – tears.
Yesterday as I was coming home from somewhere, I honestly felt a little alone – it’s so hard to sometimes explain what God is doing in our life because we aren’t always clear either on it – hence the lack of blogging on certain subjects. We know 100%, without any hesitancy that we are meant to do this gestational carrier process – but this lull is honestly very difficult. It’s confusing. Almost to the day that we found out we had to wait til the end of July for this genetic test, God has introduced us to other opportunities to serve Him, but it’s just hard to know what to do. All we know is that July is a long time in coming yet and we don’t want to just sit on the couch, missing the opportunities God has for us today. We just pray God continues to give us clarity in all this.
So when I read that God designed a path JUST FOR US and that it IS lonely at times. But God HAS gone before us. No one will ever fully understand (which is hard at times), but we just have to continue to follow His lead. Those words were EXACTLY what I needed to hear today. The past few weeks have been filled with wonderings and the whys? At times I have been extremely frustrated with God and I let Him know that. But through that time, I have felt Him say “just keep going.”
One stable thing? The gestational carrier process – never thought I would be so confident in something and in something so huge. God continues to prepare our hearts for that. And I am so blessed to have Brenda as one of my best friends. WE are SO blessed! I praise God for that family!
So today I praise God for His words of encouragement. God speaks to us in ways we least expect it – didn’t think I would start crying over a simple devotional – but those words hit deep down. The path that God calls each of us to is different and unique – that is why EACH of us is so precious in His sight!
