This is an unplanned continuation of this previous post. It seems the God has really been hammering home this point lately, so I feel lead to share more with you. I ended the last post with a comment on feeling at peace with an uncertain future. A few days later, and this is where I am at:

[….I have no idea how this all will look 6 months from now, when the time comes for me to leave this home and go back home. I have no idea what/where my next home will be after that. And you know what — I’m ok with that. I have a strange peace about it. I am confident God will provide more answers, and open the proper doors soon. ]
And until then I will do my best to focus on the present. Try and focus on where I am right now, and being faithful to the task God has called me to daily. I heard a sermon the other day with a cool Billy Graham reference. Mr. Graham said God doesn’t bless you based on your fruitfulness, but on your faithfulness. This really helped me get back in check. One of my best friends told me before I left (while we were talking of my job description, goals I wanted to accomplish here, etc) that if it meant for me to sweep floors or set up chairs for a year; then I needed to sweep floors and set up chairs for Jesus. And that’s not easy to do sometimes. But I shall do my best to be faithful in what God has called me to do. And if I means being in the spotlight preaching, and sharing the gospel – I’ll do it with a faithful, joyful heart. And if it means working behind the scenes: folding bulletins, setting up the chairs, speakers, etc, so someone else can preach; I’ll do it with a joyful, faithful heart. And I hope and pray that you do the same. God has really been driving this home, as I just read another chapter in a book by A.W. Tozer (amazing theologian, and preacher) about how Jesus calls us (in Luke 9) to “take up his cross daily…” Tozer points out that this signifies that each of us have our own cross. Jesus didn’t say carry my cross – good thing, because I don’t know of anyone would could have carried his burden. So I am encouraged that God has me here for a reason, and I am doing my best to be faithful with the small things, so God may continue to bless me with more.
