As you may or may not know my time in France is soon to come to an end. Around this time last year as I was completing my application to staff here at Bridges of Life, there was the question asking what length of time would I stay and I really felt the Lord saying one year. As I have lived and served here I really was beginning to think that I could continue on in this nation and with this community beyond that time but God has other plans and it is always my deepest desire to follow Him.
I believe this whole time here has been a time of following Him and finding the areas in my life that were at war against this desire. What does that mean? I think that anytime we feel uncomfortable or tested or in doubt or rebellion we have found the places in our lives that need to be refined, or that need to come under His Spirit. It hurts and it is uncomfortable and it even can rock our boats but if we choose to go forward in this refining process the end result is so much better than staying in the wallow and doubt of the what if's and why not's. It really is choosing life because I become more free and more creative and more adventurous. We were made for so much more and I am always going to choose God's leading cause He has yet to stir me in the wrong direction. It may not always make sense in the beginning but in the end the weaving of the tapestry always makes sense and is even more wonderful than we could first imagine.
