Today, I put my future in God's hands
Today, I put my future in God's hands, in what to me is the most tangible way yet.
Imagine being offered - nay, quite literally headhunted - and offered an interesting position, with passionate people interested in the same crap you are (professionally), with a regional level organisation. Imagine having your workload cut, with more resources at your disposal. More autonomy. More travel.
Imagine having all that unveiled (even though you sort of suspected it was coming) on your plate at 11pm at night - and then saying no.
I'm not having second doubts about the decision (although I might have in the morning). What I was surprised at was that all I could think of was that I had made certain commitments to God in church which were confirmed by God, and that there were certain things which would not be a good testimony to the way I live my life should I leave my present organisation now. All these basically culminated in the rather simple conclusion that I don't think God's set this situation up for me to leave at the moment, as there doesn't seem to be an upside for His glory.
I'm writing all this down so that I won't forget it, which you (all ten readers of this blog, incl myself) can remember this day with me that I took a rather scary, calm leap of faith. Not for my own glorification, but to share with you what happened in my day, my way, this evening. I'm not sure if I'm delighting myself in His way (Ps 37) - but most certainly I am not delighting in His way just so that I can obtain the "desires of my heart" - perish, perish the thought!
Today, I put my future in God's hands, again. I feel it's like freefalling (but with potential bitching at the side.) Libellés : christian
