For nothing will be impossible with God.
Luke 1:37
I figured out what was holding me back.
I don't want to disappoint people.
Problem? Yes. Because it's not about what other people think. If you know what God is calling you to do, then you should do it without hesitation. So many times, we ignore that and hope that he'll tell us to do something else so we won't have to make the hard decision. I do this.
Recently, I was reading the book of Judges and the story of Gideon. God told Gideon blatantly what he was supposed to do and Gideon doubted. He questioned God 4 different times. I am nothing like Gideon. Yet, God spoke and chose to question. It's a reminder of how much of a human being I am.
On top of not knowing what to do and not wanting to disappoint people, I am sick. It's just a runny nose. But you can tell by my voice and now all I can think about is how I'm going to blow my nose next.
And in all these things, there is hope.
Last night was the first night that we had a girls sleepover for my junior high group. There were so many fun moments, conversations, laughs and joyous screams. I can't tell you the amount of love in that room last night. Those girls brightened my week. Because this week has been one of much prayer, seeking the Lord on my behalf and those of my close friends.
I can do all things through him who gives me strength.
Philippians 4:13
Today, all I want to do is sleep. I want to go home and just shut the world out and feel better. Instead, I choose to make a difference. Today, I choose to look at others and invest in them. Today, it's not about me and my decisions. It's about listening to others. It's about sharing their burdens.
Sometimes,
we have to do things that God calls us to do,
regardless of what we think or want to do.
In the end, it's worth it.
Because you did what God called you to do.
