So I wait upon you now,
With my hands released to you,
Where a little faiths enough,
To see mountains lift and move,
Yeah and I wait upon you now,
Dedicated to your will,
To this love that will remain,
A love that never fails
Hillsong United-Second Chance
Psalm 37:5-7a
Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him.
I was fairly quiet with blogging my first 3 weeks or so here. I was struggling with why I was here, and I felt like I had misunderstood what God's will for me was. I was feeding and working with the horses, but I felt like it was a job that anyone could have done. I was wondering if I was totally wasting my time.
But now, looking back, I realize it was a time of testing; a time of being faithful in small things. Because, had I given in and thrown in the towel, I would never be in the position I am in now. It was 3 weeks of waiting on the Lord, and keeping myself in his will even when I didn't feel like there was a point to what I was doing. It was a good lesson about waiting on the Lord with my hands released to him; not trusting in my own wisdom, but knowing that he sees far more than I do.
And I love it that I saw this on Easter. The day that Jesus rose from the dead, giving me reason for my life, is when I begin to understand his direction in my life. The more I understand his love, the more it compels me to seek him and follow his will. And the more I seek him, the more I understand his love. It is a never ending circle that begins with God seeking to reveal his love to me. Thank you God!

Awesome! It's amazing what happens when we are patient. I have a hard time with that, myself. I read a quote the other day that said patience is bitter but the fruit is sweet. So true. Happy Easter!
