Trust and Be Patient

Well, my first post will begin with the words trusting with patience. These last few months have been eye opening in the sense that God is guiding my path in the direction I need it to go. I often wonder why He does the things He does, but as things become more clear in my eyes, I get a sense of what His eyes see in me. After preaching yesterday at Alto Reformed Church I got a compliment that I will never forget... "I can see Jesus in your eyes." I have never felt so honored and humbled by words before. Whenever I stand before a group of people with Jesus by my side~ leading the way~ and guiding my words~ I am assured that I am right where God wants me to be. I feel so blessed to be given each & every opportunity to speak to a group of people and I love every second of it!! I have prayed for financial opportunities to open up for me this summer, and they have. I have prayed for more opportunities to preach, and I have been given them (I will even be performing my first wedding ceremony in a few weeks!!). Every day I feel the soft touch of the Lord guiding my path, and am anxious to see what He has in store for me and my life. Although the job at Bethel didn't work out-- I am beginning to see why. I am slowly forgetting the judgements I felt during that process and am letting go of the negativity of that whole situation. I pray for the young man who will take the position there and wish him the best. I have found that with every disappointment comes learning and opportunities to make positive out of negative. To God be the Glory!!!
