Life got a little crazy so Ive been away for awhile. I’ve missed you all. I am linking up for the Five Minute Friday. The FMF is hosted by Kate Motaung over at our Five Minute Friday website. This week’s word prompt is “challenge.” We would love to have you join us.
Sometimes life throws us a curve ball. That’s where I’ve found myself lately. I resigned from my call earlier this week. I’m at peace with my decision. But the challenge is trusting in God. Where will God lead me next?
I don’t know about you, but I wish there were traffic signals telling us which way to go. Left or right, up or down, caution, stop, etc? I realize that’s not the point of trusting in God. But there are days it would be so much easier. It wouldn’t be such a challenge.
I’m not sure what’s next for me. Yet I believe that God walks with me especially when life is challenging. God will lead me to that place where my gifts will best be used. So as I close this blog post today, I leave you with this beautiful blessing that my friend shared with me written by Jan Richardson. It’s a promise I am clinging to in these days.
“As you go,
may you feel
the full weight
of your gifts
gathered up
in your two hands,
the complete measure
of their grace
in your heart that knows
there is a place
for them,
for the treasure
that you bear.”
Jan Richardson
