Have you ever looked at your life and realized that you just may be right where God wants you? We tend to always want more than what we have or do more than we are doing or be somewhere we aren't. But we tend to forget that we may be right where God wants us.
This is a realization that has really been hitting me lately. I have had such a spiritual transformation over the past 6 months of my life. I stand in complete awe of Him and all that He has done in my heart. I have watched myself do exactly what I knew He didn't want me to do and have suffered the consequences. I have experienced Him stripping away things in my life that I have loved and it has been painful. I have struggled with God in a major way and had to finally let go and then find myself in more peace. I went to a restaurant with women that I didn't know at my Writer's Conference because I was selfishly wanting good food to eat to find myself on a committee for an amazing project that I would have never thought possible.
I believe that every incident in your life can happen for a reason. God can and will use each of them to mold you into who He wants you to be if you truly love Him with your heart and truly want to seek His will.
When I was at the Writer's Conference a couple of weeks ago, I was exactly where God wanted me to be. It was a financial sacrifice for my family, but it was one that God provided for. My dreams as a writer will far exceed anything I could imagine.
I had to share that I just got off of a conference call with the ladies from the dinner table that night discussing a project that God has laid on all of our hearts. We are spread out all over the US, but we all have the same passion and vision. I would have never thought in a million years that God would have allowed me or put me in this place. I am truly humbled and excited to see where He is going to take me.
All I can say is that for the first time in a long time, I don't really know the direction or where I'll end up, but I am at peace. I can't wait to get there, but I am enjoying the ride.
I know that I am a bit evasive with the information as to what this project is, but I am under confidentialty issues right now. Just know that your prayers are being felt and appreciated and that God is doing BIG things.
