Every once in awhile I get the urge to make a change. I get discouraged or disappointed and I want to start over. I consider moving to Colorado or back home to Chattanooga. Because it feels like if I hit a roadblock, that I must be going the wrong way. But it seems more and more like God is teaching me to rest. Sometimes the hardest thing is to stay still. To wait on Him to make sense of things. For him to provide direction and perhaps build a bridge to an area that once seemed impossible.
I've started reading the book "Captivating." So far its been a good book, but there was one line in particular that really spoke to me. The idea is this. When Eve first took the fruit, she did it because she was convinced in her heart that God was holding out on her. How often do I make that same mistake? When things aren't going how I planned, its so easy to feel cheated. Like God is holding out on me. And so I try to regain control. I too take the fruit.
Thank God for His mercy and gentleness with our human hearts. Thank God that He has a good plan for our lives, even when we don't understand it.
