whispers
So I'm sitting here at school again, reflecting on life. I feel like I'm in the right place in my life, the place where God wants me to be. Sometimes humans can get stuck in a rut, and it can be darn hard to get out of the rut. Was I satisfied in the rut? Maybe I thought I was, maybe I wasn't. I don't know and I suppose I never will. However, I've jumped out of the rut and changed my plans.
I've taken a step of faith, a step that I believe God was asking me to take. January '07, he said, you need to do something different. You need to trust me. That can be the hardest thing in the world. Life is full of unexpected surprises. I hope that God continues to surprise me in his own way. So what am I up to? What am I doing different?
Well, for one I am in school again, after a year and a half of work. It wasn't that I didn't want to go to school, it was just that I didn't know what to take.
For two, I'm getting married. Which, interestingly enough probably wouldn't have worked if I hadn't been working. We wouldn't have had much money.
For three, I'm editing a book (Buzz) that I think is publishable.
For four, I'm dreaming up a new book, which is unnamed, that I hope can change the way people think about something.
For five, I'm creating and organizing a geocaching event this summer.
For six, I'm hoping to revive my magazine idea (I was too busy for a while) and get the first issue out.
For seven, I'm a youth leader at Douglas and lovin' it.
For eight, I am working on my dad's website (www.spokeimpact.com) and trying to make it as functional as possible.
I think that's about it. So what was it that God was telling me to trust him with? My answer to that is finances. I don't know what the road ahead will look like, but I am confident that God will provide. And so I am trusting him.
Maybe all of us need to listen to that voice inside, the one that is telling us what we should do. That voice that seems to defy all reason and fight against all logic. Because, frankly, God isn't logical. He never has been and never will be. Like Pablo said in his LJ, God didn't come in the storm, fire, or wind. God came in the whisper. We need to listen to that whisper.
