ministry, life, and other such stuff
It's been an interesting ride the last few months. With my brother leaving his position at the church we worked at - for very good reason, I should note - I'm now back in the familiar yet still undesirable position of being unsettled. Ughh. I long for roots - but God keeps re-planting me.
Some will say it's my own choice - and, yeah, that's true, but it's a choice to do what's right - or at least what I believe the Lord has called me to do. The move to AZ was a good one for me - I've grown a lot because of it and I have a MUCH clearer focus in regards to ministry. I've also begun to get my finances whipped back into shape. I know I don't "have" to move again - and I don't know that the Lord will require me to - I DO know that it is important to me to stay near my mom - wherever she is. The last 3 years apart were not good for her and I won't do that to her again unless the Lord requires it.
So - anyway, Limbo . . . not such a great place to be - and yet the best place. It is a constant reminder that the only constant, the only sure and settled and reliable thing in life is Christ. I need to be completely rooted and grounded in Him to survive this.
It hasn't been easy. But I know He has a purpose for it.
