Well we are back into the wait. i don't know when we will hear something or from someone. And that is ok, God is behind the scenes working the pieces as He so chooses. Right now we are simply resting in Him.
This morning in Oswald Chambers devotional, My Utmost for His Highest, i read, "We need to learn this secret of the burning heart. Suddenly, Jesus appears to us, fires are set ablaze, and we are given wonderful visions; but then we must learn to maintain the secret of the burning heart - a heart that can go through anything. It is the simple, dreary day, with its commonplace duties and people, that smothers the burning heart - unless we have learned the secret of abiding in Jesus".
Wow, what a word for me personally this morning. See i was getting sidetracked on things i cannot control. I am not there nor do i have anything to do with the procedures. But i do have the vision that the Lord gave me and the burning heart to see it through. I cannot allow myself to get caught in the distractions of complications or opinions or problems we might endure along the way. I am to keep the fire burning and see the vision through. The problems that may arise next week or the week after; we will tackle them as we get to them, but for today i have to see the original plan through whatever the cost.
Knowing that is all i am responsible for today brings joy. We will see case one and two all the way through as much as it depends on us and then once we've seen it through we will go where the Lord leads with the others. That is as far as He has shown me for today.
Loving Him and you! LeAnn
