God is God

I am learning.

God is God regardless of my circumstances.
God is God regardless of how I feel.
God is God when things seem way out of control.
God is God when things are going just the way I think they should.
God is God.

I have never been one to feel like I have everything under control. Sometimes I feel like things are going along smoothly and then sometimes (most times) I feel I am barely keeping my head above water.  And I think that's ok.

In order for God to be God in our lives we must recognize, acknowledge, and relinquish control...of everything. Even those things that feel most comfortable/routine/monotonous must be surrendered.

Since Nate graduated from seminary in 2009 we have prayed for God to lead us where He will be most glorified. I have always felt like that's a very bold prayer because sometimes He is most glorified in places where we don't feel like He is glorified at all...it may even feel like He isn't even present. We continue to pray that He be glorified as we seek His direction for our family and full time ministry.

The past few weeks have been encouraging as we have heard of future ministry opportunities. We are playing the waiting game at this point but at least we have heard from somebody. Since 2009 we have just heard a lot of, "...not enough experience...", "...thanks for sending your resume but...". It's good to hear that his resume is being kept and considered and his lack of pastoral experience isn't being used against him.

All that to say...God is God.
He is God even as we are here in Nashville going through the motions of our days. I am a full time mommy/wife and work part time at the Y.  Nate works a full time Monday through Friday job and is starting a part time job next week. Things feel crazy but I trust in the One who can calm the seas of my heart and life.
He is God as we wait. There is a reason and a purpose. Patience is very hard for me but I am learning to put it to practice. I am learning...that doesn't mean I do it well! =)
He is God of my life. Regardless of where we serve, may He be glorified. Not us. Him.



His,
