Have you ever been in a rock and a hard place? You know, the kind of time in your life where you just don't know where you are going, or where you WANT to go, for that matter?
I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. There are no coincidences in life...only Devine interventions. And usually, I am wrong about what God wants me to "get" out of certain circumstances. I could be the first one to enlighten someone else, just don't leave me to guess about my own. It's not until some time later (usually a LONG time) that the light bulb goes off and I finally understand what He wanted me to understand.
Isn't it funny how things work? You think you know what you are destined for, what you want/ need. But God knows better. Think of how many things you started that ended completely different than how you expected. Or how many people came into your life for reasons unknown until seasons later, when perhaps they have already left, and you finally see the impact they had on your life. It's only occasionally (for me, anyway) that we get to view the impact while in the middle of the season.
I got to experience this today. I have been struggling with a decision, and just like the God that we all love, He was right on time to show me that I wasn't to fear. He used the people in my life (some that have been in my life for years, and some that I have known for only a short time) and showed me a whole new side of them, just to show my the way and calm my fears. He could've left me alone to "figure it out", but that is not the way God works. God meets us in THE DEEP!!!
Not on the shore where everything is safe and we are in our little bubble of "normal". He is there for us in the thick of things, when we get real with one another...when life gets real! And He knows exactly what we need and how we need it.
HIS TIMING IS ALWAYS PERFECT TIMING!!!
What are the things that God has shown you?
Until next time,
-Tris
