In life, we learn many lessons. As we grow up they are from parents. Then we enter school days and teachers begin to teach us and friends enter the picture. As adults we are being taught too. We still learn from parents and friends, but God teaches the life lessons that are valuable and bring character. Since attending The Village Church, God has used the messages there to open the eyes of my heart to the lessons of God and his desires. Life is not about me. Never had been, never will be. It is about the glory of God and making his name known. This teaches me that selfishness has no place. I pray boldly now for God to strip me of that. The Lord may ask me to wait. That is my season of life. Waiting on God to answer my many questions such as where should Abbie be next year for daycare? Do we have another baby? Do we try to make it with me working part-time? What is our next move? The waiting period is rough when you are like me and want answers now. I wouldn't have it any other way though. It brings me closer to God, keeps me dependent on him, and makes me seek his face. During this season of waiting, I am also learning about the heart of God and his never ending love and his faithfulness. I will continue to wait and may he find me faithful. My dad sent me this verse so if you too, find yourself trying to answer questions, seek God and he will speak over you, "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you." Praise God for life lessons.
