At Long Last…An “Aha! Moment

Sigh! Well as you probably have noticed, there has been a lot that has been posted lately…actually nothing has been posted haha But the little hiatus did not go by in vain. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about my future and about where I am in regards to God and family and friends and just life in general. It’s really quite taxing on the mind and heart so you can probably understand my absence.

Well over the past couple weeks lots has happened in reference to my point of view on a lot of things. One instance in particular, my pastor has been in a series called Passages and it’s been amazing. There’s a link on the word ‘Passages’ in case you want to hear the sermon. Anyways, the first week was on patience and if you know me, you know that I hate waiting! So I figured that this sermon would be great for me. So Jimmy starts preaching and I’ve already got my pen ready to take notes. It was the most eye opening sermon I had ever heard. It really did change my life. He said that impatience is a trust issue and that hit me hard because I finally realized that I have not been trusting God at all. Like I knew I wasn’t trusting God with everything but it finally dawned on me that I wasn’t trusting Him in the slightest and it was was evident in my impatience. He also said that we are too busy looking at God’s hand in the situation and not His heart. We have to know who God is and trust that He will take care of it. And then he read this scripture that changed everything for me. I had heard the scripture before but I finally paid attention to the words and God finally opened my eyes and what I saw was incredible…

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;

but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Isaiah 40:28-31

I nearly burst into tears in my seat. Just seeing who God is and that He is so different than human beings and that He truly doesn’t grow tired or weary just brought me to my knees. He brought up an old mindset that God would get tired of me and just showed me that, “Hey! I’m God. I don’t get tired with you or anyone else. I’m not going to shoo you away because you’ve talked about the same thing 50 billion times. I’m eternal. I’ve got the time!” Haha! My God, you have no idea how refreshing that is to hear! I makes me want to throw away everything and and everyone and talk to God all the time. lol And through that scripture, God is rewiring my mind and trying to get me to talk to Him. It’s a little difficult because my silence has become learned behavior but I’m making it!

I hope that encourages you today (or tonight) and I hope it filles you with the same happiness that it fills me

Till Next Time (it’ll be soon, I promise )
