Lots of thanks to be giving!

I loved reading your last post! It is so exciting that we are both pushing the boundaries of fear of failure and attempting to venture into unknown territory in our lives. I will be praying for you and you should be praying for me, as I am sure that you are! If you get some time, you should listen to the vineyard's most recent message online. The newest series is called "It's Pointless." Here is the blurb from the website:

"As followers of Christ, we desire to be closer to God. In the process, some of the things we do are beneficial to our relationship with God, while other things are, well... they're pointless. So are you truly following Jesus, or are you wasting your time?"

The first message was about people pleasers. It really struck a cord with me and some of the things you mentioned in your post make me think that you could benefit from hearing it as well. I hope you take time to listen to it!

On another note, you sound spiritually mature beyond your years these days! It is really great to hear you/read your thoughts about God and your relationship with him. It is encouraging to see how much you are growing. You should really make a move to step into the next mission in your life. It sounds like God is moving you to do so. (Kind of like Elijah and how God moved him from place to place in order to use him as a vessel and to continue to impede the necessity of God in his life.) It sounds like it is time for you to do the same. I don't think that you are having these thoughts on a whim, they sound serious and like you need to make the move. The work that you have been doing will be the perfect precursor for work as a lawyer. You should be a shoe-in for that line of work. Don't let your insecurities get the best of you, if God wants you to do something he will give you the tools you need to be successful, for his own accord. After all, we are his little human machines, in which He holds the remote control to our lives, right? We have no idea what we are truly capable when we let him have complete control and it sounds like you are ready to do exactly that. Maybe that is what God has been preparing you for in your time of isolation. It sounds like you have learned that you can survive as an independent woman when you rely solely on Him. Fascinating, isn't it?

I have been feeling the same way lately, what is next? What can I do? I don't want to be stuck in a situation where I feel content, yet miserable at the same time. I want to feel like when it is time to move on, I am not relying on worldly security, but am willing to step out in faith and do as I am called.

I am so excited to see you as well!! We have a lot of thanks to be giving this year! It is so great to be able to share that with family and friends!

Before I close, I wanted to share another blog with you.. it is the vineyard women's blog. They do devotions on it. Oddly, they haven't blogged since October 19th, but you should still check it out. {Vineyard Women}

Can't wait to see you!

Love,
