In this new life, I always want to be moving forward. I don't want to be overcome, but I think one of the ways that God has provided for me is that I can write. Writing helps me to wrap my head around my feelings. The things that swarm my brain and my heart.
To everything there is a season, and with time off from leading a group, perhaps I need to take that time to write.
Okay, fine, God is calling me to write.
You see, I have this story to tell, and if I don't write it down, if I don't share what I know out of my obedient overflow, many will miss out.
God previously called me to be silent, to be still and listen as He did the work.
In this season, He is causing me to sing "I will not be silent" (ala David Crowder Band) and to share what the Lord has done through me.
Today I was invited to sit in on my church's All Staff meeting, where we had a guest speaker. Anne Jackson (another Anne with an e-- love it!) wrote the book Mad Church Disease. She talked about how serving should come from an obedient overflow and that phrase stuck out to me. You see I feel that by grace I am swimming in this overflow, unsure as to what to do right now. I have never been here before. I don't know what to do. I don't know where to go.
God says to write. So here I go. Step one: admit you are powerless. God, this whole thing is so brand new to me. I don't know what I am doing. Step two: believe God can restore you. Father only you can lead me where I need to go. Step three: turn it over to Him. So I give this to you. This abundance you have placed in my lap. I humbly give it back to you.
Help me Lord to follow where you lead.
