well here it is a whole year later.. and boy a lot has happened and also a lot has not. It has been a year to hang on.. learn more.. push faith.. push myself..believe when I didn't want to , to try and stay focused, to not get discouraged, to live and do as God wants. To fail and pick myself up and move on.. to sin and then repent. To do what I didn't want to .. but to do anyway. And now a year later.. a renewed spirit.. a renewed belief.. new eyes and hopefully a closer walk with God.
It appears to be a crazy time. It appears a time for panic and a time for change. It appears a time to hunker down and keep all those things important close and safe..a time for caution, and maybe a time to fear.
I believe God is calling us to step out now. Don't look at what the world is giving you.. Look up to where your help comes from. There will be disappointment and uncertainty right now. The Prince of Peace gives you the peace that passes all understanding. This is a time when that peace will draw men to you. This is a time when our actions will show God shining through us. This is a time to lean not on your own understanding and lean fully on Him. He works all things together for good. Step out and let your light shine.
There have been many moments this year.. more than I can count, that I felt I must have been wishful a year ago. That Eagles Way and all that God showed me was a dream. I hung in there and continued to walk and pray. I prayed for God to order my footsteps, to give me spiritual eyes to see as He sees. I failed a lot along the way, one day given up the next back in. He has blessed me in many ways and taught me patience. He taught me my ways are not His, and that my timing is not His timing. Its a lot to learn in a short time but the time grows short. There is much work ahead. We are His chosen people, a people excluded from the world and set aside for a time such as this.
Press in... give faith a chance one more time, Look up to Him, be willing and teachable, repent for those sins no matter what they are. Let God love you. And most important, Do Not Let the Things of this world distract you. Make sure you have oil in your lamp. He is calling His people. He is searching for one.. just one.. who says send me Lord, Pick me...
As crazy as this time seems, it is exciting too... He is close and you shall see His hand revealed in the coming days.... He is still in control and He will take care of all your needs.....
I am ready and willing .. are you?
