I
was reading this morning and was lead to Micah 7:7 by a friend, and it couldn’t
have come at a more appropriate time. It’s seriously SO good.
“But
me, I’m not giving up. I’m sticking around to see what God will do. I’m waiting
for God to make things right. I’m counting on God to listen to me.”
You see I had just unburdened a lot
on her and was starting to sound a little whiney, but she just let me talk my
way into this little “pity party hole” I had dug and then simply handed me the
right tools to get myself out. When she told me what verse I started to scoff
at her because who seriously knows anything about the book of Micah? But, man
was I wrong to doubt the Lord speaking through my sweet friend. So this got me
thinking, what else am I missing by overlooking these small books by names that
I can’t spell without looking them up? Oh hey Habakkuk.
“And
then God answered: “Write this. Write what you see. Write it out in big block
letters so that it can be read on the run. This vision-message is a witness
pointing to what’s coming. It aches for the coming- it can hardly wait! And it
doesn’t lie. If it seems slow in coming, wait. It’s on its way. It will come
right on time.”
So good, right?
Confession time: I’ve been really
frustrated since my last post and that’s why I haven’t posted for the past
month. God had revealed so much to me in the span of just a couple of days and
I was completely on fire and ready to get out there and help those sweet little
orphans. And then all of the sudden I was getting nothing from him. Now that’s
not entirely true, I was getting great stuff from Him, but it just wasn’t what
I wanted to hear after getting flooded with awesomeness earlier. “Wait.” That’s all I was letting myself hear
and that is the most frustrating thing for someone to hear. My passion for
these orphans that I WILL be helping to find homes is so great that the idea of
waiting a couple of years seems like forever. Lucky for me there is India this
summer.
Have I mentioned how excited I am
about this trip? I wish that it was this week, but I know that God will use the
next 4 months to prepare my heart for what I know will be a life changing trip.
There is so much to do in the mean time, like raising the money to go. It’s a
lot of money but I’m also expecting a lot of support and I can’t wait to see
how the Lord is going to work all of this out. I’m believing that the Lord has
some great things in store for me so I’m really just trying to focus more on
being patient with HIS timing because if it happens on my time I simply won’t
be adequately prepared for any of this.
“We do
not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and
patience inherit what has been promised”
Hebrews
6:12
