Tony Boyd and I were talking today about how it's sometimes good that we don't know what the future holds - that it would have been overwhelming if we had known ahead of time what these last six months would bring.
As we were talking, I was thinking about what I would have been doing and working on, if all these medical things hadn't happened - if I hadn't had all this DOWN time. smile emoticon As I was thinking, it was as if God was saying to me, "This IS my plan. There is nothing more important for you to do than what you've been doing."
WHAT?? Even though I've talked about how this isn't a surprise to God, and that He would be glorified through this journey, I don't know that I have ever considered that this was God's PLAN for this part of my life. But when I look at it from that perspective - that this is what my purpose is right now, to give Him glory and to point people to Him during the unexpected detour, I felt a huge relief. He has allowed us time to get to know Him on a deeper level, and He has provided everything we have needed.
It is all about perspective - and I will continue to CHOOSE JOY!!
“Pause a moment, Job, and listen; consider the wonderful things God does.” (Job 37:14 GNT)
