daily life

For me, things have always popped, exploded, made big noise-lots of flashes and booms. My life has been pretty chaotic and I have found that I created a comfort zone in that madness. Indeed , I expect it and have made jokes about it.
It took as everyone knows, quite a long wait for me to get here. And i have spent countless amounts of time focusing on that point, which really is not that important in the long haul. It is not remarkable that I got here-after all, God puts us where we need to be in His plan. What then is my lesson or is there one?
Life here is definitely not what it was in the States. And i will continue to write about that. However, I am reminded that despite location change, i must and am commended to continue to believe and trust in God's Plans for me. It is not enough for me to focus on that tired old story of "woe is me it took me so long to be here"....
I have an obligation now not to focus and spend excess amounts of time reminiscing about those tough ol' days of waiting. It is not healthy, or necessary. It is like getting a new position or career 's and sitting at my desk just glad to be at my desk. I am obligated as part of Christ's Kingdom to move forward into what my job or duty is.
I feel very convicted that I spend too much time in reflection instead of planning ahead and keeping to the path where God has placed my steps. He is steady, unchanging, and always faithful. His Love is huge! But because He is unchangiong I must commit myself to being changeable, to get out and loose of old patterns that hinder my progress. i cannot help or serve anyone if I am stuck in a rut of old memories and old styles. Lord, help me to be the flexible person you need me to me. Let me not tarry too long in one spot without moving forward. Forgive any amount of sloth in my work.
Yes, I think that we can get so easily stuck in hey I am in a new place and not move from that spot. I have felt often like I am trying to run in thick cement. But was it not me who poured that cement?
