Whirlwind moments in a time of stillness

You know when you have something big planned and it takes months of preparation and the execution of it seems take even longer to bring it to pass. That was not necessarily the case in God bringing me to France. Oh, I have known that I will be coming to France since March but I think I can honestly say this is probably the first time for me to be able to live in the moment of each day. God did not allow me to live in the future, the what if's and how will it happen's. No, I lived each day finding sweet time to spend with Jesus on a daily basis. I also seemed to go deeper in the word not really realizing what God was doing inside of me. It was at times some of the roughest moments in life dealing with things in a healthy manner allowing the Father to clip away the bad, trimming some of the good and just getting a plane old clean up, that I was able to learn new things of our Abba Father. God was faithful and good during this time.

As I allowed God to do what He knows best in doing, I can honestly say He did not reveal much to me about France. He gave words here and there but in the end He had been pretty silent. Then the right moment came, things began to move and move fast. Within one month I was able to sell my car, pay off the note, purchase a plane ticket with those funds and come to France. It all went fast but I stayed the pace of God moving in the midst of my being still, trusting Him, and His timing and His ways. It was a good start to a good journey. I am excited for this next season.
