One Step at a Time…

Heading into this season, I knew it to be a time to take care of responsibilities and be faithful and obedient to areas God had shed light on. Along with it have come struggles of looking forward to the next thing and trying to prepare myself for what could be next. The problem is I don’t know what’s next. Why can’t I just rest in the current season and trust God to reveal the next thing in His time?

I have such passion to be passionate about something. In the grand scheme of things, my heart is to see the Kingdom of God come to be here on earth, to love the least, to go and serve and be a light where there is none. There is just one hiccup:

What’s my THING???

A cause or idea that births passion…the thing that is the driving force to see lives changed for the cause of Christ…the thing that provides a catalyst to share the gospel through the physical and spiritual…

After many mission trips, including my most recent ventures to Africa, I guess I was hoping that my THING would make itself clear and I would come back and dive in. It hasn’t. Yet.

I do know that this current season is a prerequisite for anything that is to come. I still feel something big is on the horizon and it is important to see this season through so it can be a stepping stone into the next season.

So, one step at a time. In the meantime, I am clinging to the truth of these lyrics in THIS song.

When will we all realize that life is not about us but about glorifying the One who gave us life?

It comes down to keeping eyes and ears on Jesus. This is such a pivotal time. I count it an honor to have so much time available to me to seek His face. I will only hear God to the extent I invest in quieting myself enough to listen to him.

There is a reason for the wait. God is more concerned with who we are becoming while we wait than what we are waiting for!
