A Season of Sacrifice

This new year has brought about a season of change.. and unbeknownst to me, will be a season of sacrifice.

I was feeling as though I was spinning my wheels and I felt, going no where. I was feeling restless and ready for God to move me, but the Lord was saying nothing. I had experienced this wonderful amazing trip to Africa, where I fell in love with so many children I cant even count.. Children who fill my heart with such joy.... I figured he would soon be unveiling some big plan to me with in a matter of months... but nothing.... Surely he doesn't want me to stay single in America for the rest of my life??? I just keep praying, may your will be done in my life Lord!

After driving myself crazy, along with many sleepless nights. I knew something had to change. I felt the Lord pulling at me, saying, " I'm here, you just don't listen. And how could you through all the NOISE... You listen to your family, friends, FACEBOOK! But I am at the bottom of your list. I want to be your everything"

How can I make him my everything? Get rid of anything that is hindering me from making Him my number one. So I am doing just that. I don't know how long this season will last, I leave that up to HIM, but I know that I want to be able to hear the still small whisper of my Father at any time day or night. I don't want to miss anything and the things of this world can never fill my heart the way He can!!

So as my life has quieted down and I have begun to listen... He has revealed to me that I need to sacrifice more for His kingdom and less for myself more than I do.....I am trusting Him completely as I always do to provide for my Mission Trip to Africa, but this time, I will making sacrifices myself to pay for the trip. I felt convicted to do so and will follow His lead on this, no questions asked! I am hoping that doesn't mean Ramen Noodles, but we'll see...

And so continues the season of Sacrifice...

More to come.........
