Incrediable Word...

I got something today that just blew my mind. It was a word that just pierced my heart to the fullest. Here it is...

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns -- January 8, 2009:
This is a time of expectancy, but also a time of waiting for the completion of what has been promised. Do not become discouraged in your time of waiting nor turn back when you do not see the fulfillment of your expectations. You will no doubt have to make some adjustments in how you thought things would turn out, but you must also keep the faith that I have begun a good work in you, and I will bring it to completion; keeping in mind that My thoughts are higher than your thoughts, and My ways are higher than your ways. If you could see from My vantage point, you would not worry, says the Lord.
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

This word spoke to me like no other has in a long time. I have been expecting things lately to turn out in certain ways. In some situations I thought it would just be a cup of tea really and that I would have it mostly just given to me. That was so very far from the truth. I have dreams that I want to be fullfilled. I know God has put them in me for a time and reason. I have learned that I have step back and let God lead. Stepping back and letting him lead me well is a big thing to any of us really. Its like ok you are sitting here but where Lord am I suppose to go here. You kinda feel like you are at the end of the rope jsut hanging on. I have dreams and I know where I would like those dreams to be fullfilled. I know just about every aspect of the when, where and how. I have come to realize though that it might not be Gods plan for what I think. Yes hard to swallow isnt it. As it says in this word, we might have to make some adjustments. Adjustments, are you kidding me. Well, being taught what is right and being lead by the spirit always has its adjustments although sometimes we dont realize it. This week I interviewed for a position that I wanted really badly. I thought it would work out just right and that it would just be given to me and.I would start ASAP. Did it happen that way. Absolutley not!!! I did get discouraged for a time as we all do when we dont get something that we feel like we desire for so badly. I have my times still becasue that burning desire is still there and has not come to completion yet, but who says it will in the way I think. So, my thoughts have veen changed. Not what I want, but what you want Lord. What is my purpose, and how do you intend to fullfill it within me. Its not me doing the work, its you doing it within and through me to touch those who are around me. I have to know and understand that I have to keep my faith up, but to remind myself in this time that Gods thoughts are so much different than what mine ever would be, but he always has my best interest at heart. He knows what he is doing, although I dont seem to get it quite as much. Just like it says that if we saw things through his vantage point that we would not worry. Well that is so very true. That peirced me and convicted me so very much. Keith and I have been through a battle and a half in the last year and a half, but of course God has helped us grow so very much through it all. You ask is he done, NOPE. Still riding through the storm, and most of the time we are not having a great time but we are growing and seeing things come out of it. We just got to keep going. Just like I have said, our dreams might be up in the air but it will not tarry up there forever. It will come but just in Gods timing. Keep the faith and keep walking. You and I can make it, but we just have to make the choice to do so. God Bless...
