Right now Zach and I get to work at Continuant Monday-Friday 6am-3pm. We get to commute
33 miles each way everyday. And to be honest, sometimes I get weary of walking the road in front of us to get where we’re going.
33 miles each way everyday. And to be honest, sometimes I get weary of walking the road in front of us to get where we’re going.
In these times, my mind can wander into the wonderment of what God is up to in our lives and what his plan will look liked all rolled out. I wish I could step back and take a look at it like a huge map, so I can trudge through this season of time (where were on our way to where we want to be, but not there yet) a little easier.
We are called to ministry- we are called to pastor, to do work on the mission field, we are called to young people, and we are called to serve God’s church and his people. Prophecies have been boldly spoken over us to be writers, to be pastors. When do we get to see these things come to pass? Yes, we do all of this now—on a smaller scale. Yes, we do not have to be on staff at a church, doing ministry vocationally, to be serving God’s people or pouring into young people’s lives…But we know that this is where we are headed, to be in ministry full time. I can let myself get discouraged sometimes when I look around at my desk, answering phone calls. These moments are like me standing on the diving board with the choice to jump into the ocean of doubtand negativity or not.
I have to decide to step off that diving board, climb down the ladder and keep walking the straight and narrow; with the Lord plowing the way in front of me, and choose to not give into doubt in these times. I have to choose to believe that we are being equipped each and every day for what God has for us next. I have to choose to believe that God knows what he is doing and has us where we are, around who we are around, for a reason. I have to choose to believe that he has a purpose for us here in the corporate business world. I have to choose to ask him to open my eyes and heart to see things from HIS perspective, and not mine.
I can walk through these times choosing to complain and be negative, or I can walk through these time asking the Lord for a heart for the people I work with, asking the Lord for strength everyday to be faithful with what is in front of me. And I’ll choose, with the Lord’s help and love for me, to be faithful with a little so I can be trusted with much.
