I heard that phrase about a year or so ago and it just cracks me up. This morning(all week truthfully) God has just opened HUGE doors. Dont you love when He just provides? When you feel like the "wilderness"( as Priscilla Shirer calls it) or that waiting, in between period will never end, and God says here ya go! and plops opportunities to serve Him right in your lap!
God, for the past few years has really been growing me. It is just incredible to see where He has brought me from. I have felt the call to lead worship since i was 12 its incredible to watch Him open those doors for me.
My heart goes out to those in the "wilderness" ready to go where God leads, hearts about to burst with passion for Him dying to get out. My experience has been, and still is, that i need to prepare myself for WHATEVER He has got prepared for me.
So as of now I am focusing on growing in Him by staying in the Word and surrounding myself with godly counsel to hold me accountable.
God is so good and has such AMAZING plans for those who seek after His name.
These verses have been on my heart here lately...
"To all who mourn in Israel,
He will give a crown of beauty for ashes,
a joyous blessing instead of mourning,
festive praise instead of despair.
In their righteousness they will be like mighty oaks
that the LORD has planted for His glory."
~Isaiah 61:3
This next verse I pray before i lead worship. It helps me to only focus on Him, and not everything crazy that happened that week.
"Who may worship in your sanctuary, Lord?
Who may enter your presence on your holy hill?
Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right,
speaking the truth from sincere hearts.
Those who refuse to gossip
or harm their neighbors
or speak evil of their friends.
Those who despise flagrant sinners,
and honor the faithful followers of the Lord,
and keep their promises even when it hurts.
Those who lend money without charging interest,
and who cannot be bribed to lie about the innocent.
Such people will stand firm forever."
~Psalm 15
