I left my job of 14 years last week. I feel like God had been telling me for a while that it was time to leave, but I kept asking "are You sure?" "Do You really want me to leave?" Well two events happened last week that I'm pretty sure God was saying "it's time for you to go!" It didn't end the way that I would have liked, but it ended.
Nothing bad to say, other than it was just time to leave.
Jeremiah 29:11 Message
11 I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.
So today I took a ride down to Starved Rock. This is my go to place when I want to get alone and spend time with God. He talks, I listen. I was/am seeking His direction for my life now. Seeking to get some kind of word from Him.
This is what I heard from Him during my hike.
There will be many steps. If any of you have ever hiked Starved Rock, you know about the infinite number of stairs there are.
The path will not be straight. Again, while hiking down there, I don't think there is a straight path anywhere.
Just like I am bringing the world into a new season (spring), I will bring you into a new season as well. Trust me and what I have for you!
TRUST ME!
I believe that is what He was really trying to get across to me.
Isaiah 55:8 Amplified Bible
8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.
He has a perfect plan all laid out for me. He knows what's best for me, even when I don't.
Isaiah 43:19 New Living Translation
19 For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.
So He closed one door, and I'm waiting for another one to open. So I find myself in the hallway. You know what I am going to do? I am going to worship while I'm waiting!
God Bless.
