I Believe

I believe in being transparent. I believe in being the only thing I can be - me. I believe in knowledge, wisdom, understanding, and their pursuit. I believe in sharing these quests with others and do so very openly and honestly. Through my love for transparency, my quest for wisdom, and my desire to understand God, His Son, His Spirit, and the world around me, I hope to open my thoughts to others so that they may be challenged to grow too. I will always be Captivating Curiosity.

And The 3 Shall Become 2

Sunday, October 12, 2008

Well, I received an answer to one of my possible directions.

"We have chosen somebody else for the position."

Those words neither stung nor were they the deliverer of disappointing news. In fact, a sense of relief set in. No longer did I need to figure out whether or not I would accept this position nor did I need to determine what door to walk through. As I prayed for weeks for God to shut any doors he wanted shut, this door to the county was shut.

My 3 options have now become 2.

Once again, the Lord reminds me who is Lord...not me but Him.

"Trust me, Jamie."

Obviously my future is not in my hands. It is in His. What I need to do is trust Him to show me. As He so often proves, He knows what He is doing better than I ever will.
He knows where He wants me to go and I am, simply, clueless.

But I'm beginning to become more and more okay with that. I trust my God. He created me - he molded me in my mother's womb; he set a future before me with a huge dream for what I will do and who I will become. I am grateful that I am in His hands and not my own.

As the future comes closer and closer to the present, I excitedly and anxiously await where the Lord will bring me. Daily I remind myself who is in control and daily I am thankful that it is not me.
