I pray. I expect movement. When I see nothing happen it leaves me wondering. Did I not pray right? Is God busy? Why is he not moving? The answer may be different than we think.

27 Aug 2012Scott-It has been my experience that often he is working in many ways behind the scenes -especially when it involves the will of others. In my life I can honestly say that Gods\’ delay has done a deeper work of forming my heart. I think we all have to ask ourselves-am I seeking Him for what I need or am I seeking Him for who He is. When I do-what I need becomes secondary.

27 Aug 2012Absolutely. Looking back I am glad he did not move in the way that i asked him. May have been harder, but I am better because of it

28 Aug 2012Yeah, I know most of my grow has come through long difficult circumstances worked out over time. Currently though, I am enduring a three and a half year stretch of severe pain since fracturing my patella, and incredible compounding circumstances. Almost (almost) more than I have been able to bear. The one thing that endures when nothing else does is hope. I hope, and hope, and hope, that God is going to see me through, and even use this experience to bring glory to Himself and goodness to others, but see no evidence to that effect at present. Maybe that is to the point. Neither, I suppose, did Joseph in Genesis.

28 Aug 2012So much of the time I get wrapped up in asking Him for what I want that I neglect to ask Him what He wants….It\’s not about me anyway, it\’s all about HIM……..
