I feel as though I've spent so much of my life doing "good things", committing to things that will help someone, that have a great purpose and end result....and I'm so thankful for those opportunities! I never want to be in a season of life, comfortable or stretched, and not be grateful for where God has placed me. However, 2009 is a new year!
My prayer as 2009 began was "God, YOU tell me what you've called me to do...specifically...right now....and let my focus be on nothing else!"
And He did! The last six months have been filled with challenges and struggles unlike anything I've walked through and yet because God clearly showed me where my time and focus should be I've known a joy and energy beyond my understanding! I finally learned how to say "No." and to not feel bad about it, because the revelation is that the pressure is on God and His promises. His grace covers all that He calls us to, and I for one, don't want to spend my time trying to see how far His grace stretches...I'd much rather simply run in what he has for me.
"But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines brighter and brighter until the full day....let your eyes look directly ahead and let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you. Watch the path of you feet and all your ways will be established. Do not turn to the right nor to the left..." Proverbs 4:18, 25-27
