The waiting is over. I feel secure and confident in what my next ‘phase’ is on my journey…it won’t be a surprise to any of you because it wasn’t for me, HOWEVER I now feel at rest an no longer unsettled and uncertain. I am to focus on being an advocate for abuse survivors.
DUH! 🙂
Right? Now hear me out. I was in adoration this morning ‘talking’ to God and it just became very clear, so clear that it felt ‘right’ which is what I’ve been waiting on this whole time. BUT (there is always a but, and there ALWAYS has been every time I’ve begun a new ‘phase’)…some loose ends need to be tied up. Before I can focus my efforts and go full throttle with my platform and making more of an effort to really get ‘out there’ I need God to make some things happen so that I can find the TIME to do this and not have it hinder my family.
But I’m not sweating it either. Now that I know this for certain I know that God will do what He needs to do when He needs to do it.
*Whew* I can’t express what a great feeling this is!!
And to make sure that I was not just ‘crazy’ for suddenly ‘getting it’ I received an email this afternoon from a young woman who apparently heard me speak over 4 years ago and she recently went through something tragic and thought about me and my story. She went through some things she was feeling and asked me for advice. My heart breaks for her and she is in my prayers. I am humbled that after four years she still remembered my story enough that it still gives her hope despite what has happened and the fact that she remembered my name to find me is humbling as well.
It’s confirmation. I hate that it is at her expense…but that’s the point. I want to help!!!
Anyway, thanks for joining this crazy train with me! And if you feel the need, please pray that God ties up those loose ends soon.
🙂
Blessings
