So over the past week or so, instead of spending my time dragging my feet wishing I could do something more, I've come to give it to God and just let Him lead in my life (no matter how impatient I get). Lord please help me. Give me the patience.
There must be a reason why the Lord hasn't fully made clear His calling in my life. I know that it must have something to do with music and writing but looking deeper into those two I find that there are innumerable things you can do with them. (For example, a life pursuing music can be as varied as becoming a conductor of an international orchestra to joining a local rock band, etc). I don't know exactly how He wants to use me even though I've known the basic idea for a while.
As some of you know - I am a very impatient girl, thus my dilemma of wanting to do something now - but recently the idea that I am not yet ready has come to me; that suppose God is still preparing me for 'my life calling' even as I wait on Him. I know that God's timing is perfect and if He has not made clear unto me His plans for my life, than suppose I am not even ready to hear them. Suppose I am to rather take one day at a time - each day unfolding unto me as it comes - and trusting instead in the Lord fully who will unravel His plans for my life as He sees fit. Suppose even, our ignorance of the future is a blessing in disguise that protects us from unnecessary fear. For one thing, had I known beforehand all that I was to do already in my life (two years in the remote places of Alaska, four years in Mexico and something over a year in Canada) I'm not so sure I would have had been so eager to follow His leading.
I really believe that part of having a personal relationship with Jesus is just learning to trust in Him and - even though we may be blind to the events of even tomorrow - we can rest at peace knowing that everything is in our God's control. Nothing takes place without His knowledge and even a tragedy can He turn into good. The Lord is shaping our tomorrows and if we but let Him, He will create it into a beautiful masterpiece. So in short, thats what I'm letting Him do.
You have the reins Lord. Take the wheel of my life Jesus and shape the clay of my tomorrow into the plans you desire for me. Mold me into the vessel you want me to be. Teach me you will and give me the strength and I will live in it. In Jesus' name. Amen.
