Have you ever awakened in the middle of the night with a crazy thought in your head and wondered "where did that come from?" To those who know me it is no secret that I love frozen yogurt. I guess I never realized how much until I thought to myself--"They don't have frozen yogurt in the DR and that is not something anyone can bring me when they visit" and then that thought leads to other thoughts and soon you have been awake for an hour and you figure well I might as well get up and go to the bathroom--haha!
I am not a worrier by nature and in fact scripture tells us not to worry about anything--God has this world and He is in control of everything and nothing happens that doesn't first go through His hands. That is such a comfort for me as we prepare for this amazing adventure that we have been called too. Can you imagine what your day and even your life would look like if we always remembered that our God is in control and loves us more than anything? He rejoices with us, laughs with us and cries with us as we make this journey through life. In my heart lately God has placed the desire to spend more time with Him, learning His word and really listening to Him and what he wants from me. There are times when I get so excited about the plans that "I" have for our time in the DR that I forget that God's thoughts and ways are not like mine. I need to always be seeking His will for my life and our time serving in the DR. I need to realize that my plan may be totally different that what God has in store for me. He sees the bigger picture and only asks that I go along and be His hands and feet--that does make me excited!
My prayer for this week is that I will listen to God and spend more time with Him. I pray that my will may be aligned with His and I walk with the Lord--not in front of Him--thinking that I am telling Him how things are gonna be. I realize that my waking in the middle of the night thinking of the yogurt means a few things--God wanted me awake to realize He is calling me to a closer walk with Him, God wants me to seek His will and go with His plans and not tell Him mine and maybe that I haven't had frozen yogurt in awhile and He knows I love it!
