During these past couple of weeks, I've had time to think and reflect. There were some areas in my life that I was focuses on too much and others I've been neglecting. So when I get back to Florida there are going to be some changes. After talking to a friend, she opened my eyes to some things and encouraged me not to be idle, to pick up the ball and run with it. She said something to the affect of, It's better for someone else to drop the ball, than for the ball to drop in your court. Ok so that was a definite paraphrase, so if she reads this just keep that in mind. That is exactly what I have been doing in a certain area, I've been waiting around for someone else to make things happen, but if you really want something you've gotta go for it, ultimately God is going to guide my steps, open the doors I'm supposed to go through and close the ones that are not right for me. It's good to wait and rely on God but at the same time I think God wants us to help ourselves.
And on the flip side there are somethings that I feel I need to give up for the time being. So it's a good feeling to get a little clarity on things. Now I'm ready to go back to Fl and tackle life, to get through this job dry spell, to stop focuses on the negative and the things I don't have and to just rejoice in the things God has blessed me with. I know that God has something amazing for me, I just have to be patient and rely fully on Him.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite passages of scripture:
"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior..."
Isaiah 43:2-3
