Prep-2

Patience- oh how I struggle with thee!! It's so funny how patience is such a crucial part of preparation. So often God shows us what He has for us and the time between Him showing us and the actual time to take the step can feel like an eternity! If you are anything like me you hear God and just are ready to run. But often times God wants to teach us some things through the process of getting us to where He has for us.

I have found that at times He has things that He wants us to deal with before moving forward. Sometimes I would rather move on then deal with an issue. But the truth is that as long as we are not willing to face those issues they could present themselves later on at a time when they could truly hurt us or the call God has on us.

There are also times that its not issues holding us back but order. God wants things put in order so that He can move us forward. I know that there have been times when I've thought 'God I'll get that in order when _____ (you can fill that in)'. But again God wants us to take the time to bring order. So many times we are worried about 'missing' Him or the call He has on us. When we take the time to get things in order He can put us on the execrated program if He needs to.

Moral of the story, seek Him above all else, deal with anything and everything that He shows you, and rest in Him. Be fully convinced that as you stay faithful to His leading and keep Him first you will be where you need to be, when you need to be there, and you will have all that you need to in order to accomplish all that He has for you.

Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

~Matthew 6:33
