Understanding

There are some things in life I will forever never understand. I came to know the Lord when I was 8 years old. I grew up in a Christian home and have a rich heritage. I went to Bible College for 7 years. I have worked at Bible College for 9 years. I have been immersed in truth. Yet, I do not understand the ways of God. Sometimes I like to pretend that I do.
My heart continues to break as God moves. I know that God is calling me. It doesn’t mean it isn’t hard. It doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt. It doesn’t mean that the future isn’t scary, or unknown. It is hard for me to understand why God would call me from something that I love, from people that I have grown to love.
I do know that God doesn’t make mistakes. That His plan is far greater than I could ever understand or comprehend. Lest you think that I am dreading going to Ohio, you would be wrong. I am looking forward to what God has in store. I am looking forward to spending time with my family and reconnecting with them. I feel like I have missed out on the last 12 years of their lives.
While I will miss the fresh mountain air, I am looking forward to a slower pace of life for awhile, of healing, of rejuvenation. The Lord certainly has a sense of humor…for sure. Never in a million years would I have ever told you I’d be back in Ohio. YET, God’s ways are better and higher than my ways. He is God, after all.
So, no.. I do not know what lies ahead. God does. I rest in this TRUTH. HE is God. I am not. I will miss BBC, New Life Baptist Church, my girls and my friends more than anyone could possibly know (including myself).
On a parting note, while eating lunch with a friend yesterday and drinking my juice…I slowly saw some writing on the back of the wrapper as I continued to sip. Below is what was revealed as I continued to drink. You cannot possibly tell me that God doesn’t move or speak in mysterious ways…
