God's Timing & Will

Little did I know that I would be revisiting this topic in a month again, but here I am. As you guessed by the title you know what the blog is going to be about and this is something that's been going on in my life right now. Sometimes it's hard to know when God is talking to you about something specifically, but this is one of those moments where I knew with all my heart. It's refreshing and yet humbling at the same time to have God speak to you.

Well for a while now I really haven't had a direction or career path for school anymore and for the longest time I've prayed that I would do his will in my life. That I would walk out God's will for me in my life daily and well after a crazy summer and which turned into a crazy start to the semester. Well after a while I began to try and figure out what I should be going to school for. As the weeks progressed I began to truly wondering what I am going to do for career and the following weeks were frustrating at times. This slowly got me wondering if I was simply wasting away my time at school. I would journal, pray, and converse with others about what I should be doing for schooling. I will say this during those periods I wasn't sleeping for a darn and I would wake up at odd hours of the night. It sucked...... being up since 3:30am and knowing that my day wouldn't end till 7pm or 8pm that night made for a long day!

Well as the semester progressed more and more this became a real daily thought that I was putting too much time in and just this week God spoke. Saying what I needed to hear which was good, but at the same time very difficult to hear. I say difficult because knowing that there is nothing really for me left to say or do and I'm totally going argue with God on this topic. It's challenging and this is why faith is such an important part of the journey when it comes to walking with God and listening to what he says and when he says it. I know a lot of people struggle with this and I hope that this gives you some hope and peace knowing that God will direct you in the way which He wants you to go.The gist of what was, "My will and my timing for all things." "Am I not your provider ?! Have I not given you everything you have ?!" As a guy this is extremely difficult to hear because I like to know that there is a means to an end, a goal, or some objective. That's where the faith part kicks in!

Saying, " God I want to do your will in my life." and walking it out are two very different things altogether honestly. I have found this to be very true in my life and faith has been a big key to walking it out in my daily life. Honestly in order to do this you really have to surrender your heart to Him, trusting him that He will meet your every need according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Faith is not by sight, it's by trusting and believing that God will not lead you astray! He will never leave you nor forsake you! His word is his promises so when you read another promise that God has made I challenge you to take it at face value. Meaning you really believe that this is what he is saying!

I hope you enjoyed reading this post as I truly enjoyed writing it and being able to share with all of you who read my blog! May God continue His good work in you till completion or until Jesus Christ returns to bring us all home! May God bless you and keep you close to him!
