Filtering through life’s challenges
It is 2:10am and I have been wrestling with some career decisions I get to make. When I try to make them by myself it seems to be emotional and sticky, but when I give it up to God directly it goes much smoother. It is funny how we pray about things to happen for us, then we try taking it over and completing the wish (prayer). The corrected method of action is to believe God will faithfully work everything out and, all you need to do is enjoy watching the process.
I have recently took a big leap of faith in selling my luxury avalanche truck without an alternate plan for transportation. I figured that God will workout those details. So the journey continues. I felt convicted that I was feeding homelessness people and showing up in a very nice vehicle and I felt like a hypocrite. So on my drive home I was wrestling with why I really needed it. With my family gone on spring break I got home and headed straight to bed. Last night wasn’t my best night of sleep and I actually received around 2 hours, and I tossed and turn about selling the truck. Well, the clouds broke in the morning and I called a friend in the car business and he helped me to get the truck advertised. Many temptations came by my way from people wanting to be strategic in buying this vehicle and I chalked that up to Satan trying to make his mark. Well after 2 weeks of questionable buyers the Lord brought the perfect buyer into my path and we sold him the truck and I feel great about the decision to sell. Now I am without a vehicle without any concerns of what I will get next, but one thing is clear it will be cheap. All I need today is something that will bring me from destination to destination verses look at me in my fancy truck. This has been an Incredible experience for me and my family. The best part is I had a good friend lend me his vehicle until I find a replacement. I had so many blessing during this journey that it is so hard to count them, but I can visually remember a lot of them.
The lesson is to rest and listen and then act on God’s results for that situation.
