Profound, really profound. I laid awake on my bed before the dawn of the new year, thinking and reflecting about the year that has just passed, and downloading for what is to come this year. I say our dear Friend will never fail to prepare us for what is ahead, and tell us always before time. This year is a year of Newness and Wisdom.
Indeed thinking about some changes that will come this year, some transitions and many decisions to be made, wisdom cannot hide her face. But He promises to be my Wisdom, He promises to bring freshness into the things I do, and to the group I'm in. Feeling mixed, there is excitement but there is also fear. Please note that the "fear" I mention is not the state of being "terrified" or "afraid". But how do I say? Nervous, maybe. But no I don't mean "worried". You know, there's always a first time we need to breakthrough. I don't know exactly what changes there will be, but I definitely know and can feel it, that He is working on preparing me inside out. It means more transformations alright! And yeah, bring it on!
Decision-making. A word I used to dislike, very much. But maybe not anymore soon? I don't know.
"As I was praying for you, I have an impression that God wants me to tell you about decision making. There may be a certain kind of fear you have about nailing decisions, and God wants to pluck that out of you. He will give you the wisdom to discern and decide", these words from a dear sister really made my heart freeze for a moment.
"Do I really have to do that, God? Like really? But... isn't it a little too fast? You know I'm not prepared yet", my heart pounded anxiously while I thought about that.
I probably know what those words from that sister meant, because He knows what is in my heart even when everyone else around me does not, He spoke so directly. And I'm so thankful for the words. It's a timely message for a new year! At least something I am assured of, at last. No more self battle on my thoughts, no more emotional struggles about it. Because He says He is taking care of it! Sigh of relief, at last, or at least for a little while too see what He will bring about. And yes, that's why He is preparing me for things I'm unprepared! Another year of preparation that is, another year with different wonderful experiences.
Maybe you are thinking with me what is all this decision making about? Decide on what? I don't know very clearly yet, because my God is too surprisingly and creatively awesome to be predictable! So, we'll see. But I'm sure of His faithful character! He won't disappoint me, neither will He do the same to you. :)
Blessed 2013 peeps! Be involved in His project and amazing adventure He's marked out for you, maybe? You won't regret! ;)
He is making all things new!
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. - Isaiah 43:19
