What's Next!?!?
Wednesday, May 18, 2005 Edit This 3 Comments »
All day yesterday, I kept thinking to myself what's next? As I am becoming increasingly bored at work and tired of being complacent with the things of life such as my walk with the Lord, my health my relationships with others etc., I ask again, what's next on God's agenda for Sandy? Where is He taking me? As I ponder on that, I think about how I won't fully know until I am willing to surrender my own personal desires and the plans that I have to Him. The other big thing that will keep me from fully knowing is me trying to figure it all out on my own...... I've read it time after time after time.. Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future, yet, as many people do, I struggle day in and day out to do the right thing until that plan is manifested. Now that doesn't mean I shouldn't plan and prepare for the things to come, God has also given us wisdom. It also doesn't mean that I won't screw up, but when I hear the voice of the genuine (as Rev. Maxwell calls the voice of God) will I lay down my own desires for His? Will I? Am I even prepared for what's to come? Will I even have the faith to step out and do what He says when He says?
Hummmm.... Food for thought.....
In the meantime, I guess I do have a part in this which is going to require me to:
Slow down and stop running so much.
Turn off the phone sometimes.
Say no sometimes to the people that are always tugging at me.
Shut out the noise of the world and listen.

Anyway. That's where I am....Holla Back and have a fantabulous day!
3 What's on Your Write Mind?:
Sandy,
We are in similar places. We are both contemplating our next move. I guess the problem is that we are contemplating instead of taking action. It is that human side of us that think too much before we make a move. We overthink until we think ourselves into oblivion and we forget what we wanted in the first place. Well, that's me sometimes. I can only speak for Stephen. Anyway, thank you for keeping me in your prayers. I will pray for you as well. Peace~
Me? Think to much before I move? Why of course. Sometimes I wish I didn't have a mind to think with (:
How did I miss this post? Glad you included it in your little meme...
I can totally relate Sandy - many a time I've had similar feelings. And I know you wrote this back in 2005, but if you're anything like me then you've probably been round this mountain again since then...I think I got a little dizzy going round mine last year *sigh*
But we know what to do don't we? It's just the doing it that's hard at times.
Thank God for His never ending loving mercies and His oh so wonderful plans for our lives no matter how blury the big picture is to us :)
