I find at times in my life God has called me to things. He has laid heavy on my heart what he wants and desires of me. And, he has made me no promises as to when, where, or with who he will carry out his plans. This is hard for me as I tend to be a bit of a control freak!!
I tend to want to be the one steering the boat and setting the path. I also want to decide who I will work with on this ride. However, God is not concerned with my time table or the company I am most comfortable keeping. He is interested in reshaping me and those around me in His time and in his way. I am thankful that he loves me enough to continually war with my pride to establish the right path. (Proverbs 16: 9) And so I will serve wherever He calls me. I don't know why some people are led to serve with their gifts and it seems to come together easily, and why some struggle consistently and are not relieved of the calling. I also don't know why many things happen the way they do. However I do know God is good in all things! I know that he wants to do good to those who love Him. I Know that He is more interested in shaping us in His image than having us be happy in the moment. I will learn to live in full expectation of God's fulfilment of His calling, even without a schedule!
God bless and keep you, Ms. Jill
