A few weeks ago, Daniel and I started to become overwhelmed with the decisions we are making for the future. It wasn’t which crock-pot should we buy for the kitchen or what flowers should we use for the vestibule of the church. It was more along the lines of how on earth do we make decisions when we have no idea what is going to happen. That sounds vague, and I’m okay with it. I don’t have to spill all the details.
Let’s just say that there were many nights of tears and frustration. We both prayed and prayed and talked through scenario after scenario. Then this past Wednesday night we heard a message from Pastor Jeff that struck our souls so deeply. It was exactly what we had been needing to hear. Decisions are many, choices are rampant, but what matters most is what will honor God most. I’ve been a Christian for 20 years (as of September 1), but that is still a thought that catches my breath. So, we went out to eat that night and told each other that even though it doesn’t make sense – and we don’t know how things will play out – we are choosing Choice “C.” Which is throwing everything to the wind and stepping out on faith to do something we don’t understand or even attempt to.
I slept better on Wednesday night. And Thursday just seemed to flow better. Each time I began to entertain thoughts of how on earth I would remind myself that when you choose to honor God more than anything – He’ll provide a way.
While eating with Jerica at Ruby Tuesday’s on Thursday afternoon, my cell phone rang. I thought it was odd that Daniel would call me when he knew I was out with a co-worker but I answered anyway. And then he rocked my world with the news of what the Lord had done.
I’m breathless and amazed (and yet I shouldn’t be- shouldn’t I expect the God of the universe to do The Amazing?) and barely able to contain myself.
To God be the glory! Oh, that I will remember this experience and call back to others- surrender everything over and watch how He will take your all and turn it into so much more.
