Sometimes when I pray, I have no idea which direction God wants me to go in next. So I try to quit down, to listen, to be patient, to walk in love. Other times, I get a pretty 110% conviction of where to go next.
Strangely, or not strangely (because God cares) this happened with the van I currently drive. I knew when I saw the ad that it was the one. The hubster had long since stopped questioning this. And sometimes I admit that I don’t know if it conviction or my excitement. It depends on the situation.
With the current house project we are very soon wrapping up, I knew. I got that conviction, that this what we were supposed to do.
When it came to the recent promotion of a Time 414 personnel from part time to fill time, I didn’t have the conviction. Maybe I was too close to the situation. So I started looking at facts. It all made sense logically. A 360 degree view all looked positive. So I prayed again for maybe the 20th time, if this isn’t right, I’ll stop looking down this path. I don’t want to do this if it is a mistake. Then I felt a smidge. A calm. A peace. This right.
Tonight I am thankful for the peace that is present, in varying degrees, when a decision lines up with God’s plan. I am thankful that week one with Time 414’s newly promoted full timer is rocking!! I am so excited about the progress we can make now. Ironically, Time 414 has been limited by time! Time that I can invest. Time that our team member can invest. This is step one to being able to serve more people, sooner and better! This is exciting!!
