A Time For Everything


 



I think my time is coming
Maybe it is already here
Either way I feel God moving in my life
Moving me into the directions of my dreams
Moving me towards the desires of my heart
Moving through my heart
Deep in soul 
I know it

When I started at SPU I would have told you I would stay there forever
Continue my knowledge for marketing through conferences like NACMA
Possibly move up to assistant athletic director
I loved everything about athletics and what it entails
And then I would meet someone at SPU
I would raise my children going to SPU events on weekends and evenings 
 I would have a completely happy and content life working at SPU


"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more 
than all we ask or imagine, 
according to his power that is at work within us"
Ephesians 3:20 

Do you remember this post?

This post was written almost a year ago
I prayed circles around this post
And then I started seeing the life I was meant to live
Dreams started forming in my soul I never imagined
I started seeing the adventure from God

That is my dream
That is my purpose to bring Him Glory
Bringing faith, hope, love to children 
All around the nation 
All around world


I knew from this day I wouldn't be at SPU much longer
The Lords great commission started becoming the life I wanted 
I didn't know when or how it would happen but it was coming
All I knew was I needed to GO
Leave SPU?
Leave the students I have come to love?
Leave the financial and medical stability?
Are you sure God?
I sure LOVE what I do 

I prayed all year for God to make it clear
Give me peace when the timing was right 

"The Moment I Knew" 
Friday, October 11th , 2013 

That was the day I knew You were calling me in another direction 
 I was driving past the airport, Christmas music playing and that was when I knew 
I wasn't even thinking about it. 
"This is my last year at SPU" I told myself 
It was an instant decision
Then the dreams and visions started flooding
I saw me traveling to Africa
Traveling to Germany
Not asking a boss for time off
Coming home to play with Jace and the new baby
In the middle of the week!
A life of freedom
I would volunteer  whenever I wanted 
Make-A-Wish
St. Jude
Jessie Rees Foundation
It was exactly the sign I needed
So easy
So much peace 

I have no reservations, no holding back
I am committing to Advocare to provide financially but I know You have a plan for me
No doubt, I see my dreams coming alive the next couple months and it excites me deep in my soul
Lord, I am ready for the next season in my life, a season of freedom and traveling, serving and giving, and of course my deep longing of becoming one with my husband
Lord, I know You are saving me for Your best
Right now may seem like a huge trial and hurdle, lots of negativity and distress
Maybe for him too, but I have hope!

The One in my heart is greater than any insecurities and unfulfilled dreams. 
I will continue to pray circles around my bold dreams Lord
I know that when you fulfill them You will get all the Glory! 
Lord, show the world Your glory. 
Amen. 

*I wrote this about a week after to remember exactly what I was feeling 





We will praise Your name forever, Christ the Lord
