Staying Afloat
I know it has been quite a while since I last blogged. I have been on such a learning curve lately that I feel as though I am skipping grades one minute and then the next miniute I realize that I need to be in remedial classes. I can not say that there has been a drastic change in my life that erases what had me in the funk I was in. I will say that I have prayed like I have never prayed before. I prayed BOLDLY - which if you know me at all you know there is not too much about me that is bold.
I KNOW in my heart and with every fiber of my being that I am not where God plans on using me in HIS projects to work in my giftings. I am where I am for a reason, for sure but it is not the ultimate place where God is going to use me. Maybe a testing period, maybe a stretching period, maybe even just a period of holding the spot for that other person HE will place where I am - I am just keeping their seat warm. All I know is that HE is going to move me to a new place and it will be all about him.
I know that the gift of compassion He has given me will be utilized in ways I have never thought of - ways that will bring HIM the glory. The gift of empathy He has blessed me with will come into play in my life and what God wants me to do.
I have a sense of impending change, I think HE has picked up the rope of the life ring that was tossed my way and He is slowly pulling me ashore.
I do want to thank my friends who have been in this with me in their prayers. You know who you are. I am so blessed to have friends who will pray for me - friends who sense things are rough and do not call because they know I will cry but just silently pray for me. The friends who do call and let me unload and vent and do not minimize but validate me. The friends who are bold in their prayers and who can see the whole picture. Friends who will tell me what I need to hear not what I want to hear. I thank you and honor you. I cherish your friendship.
I can see the shoreline on the horizon. I am just hanging on and STAYING AFLOAT.
See ya on land
