In the Works: Planting in Borrowed Soil: I rent a small house in my hometown. When I first moved back to North Carolina, it was supposed to be a time to take a break from mini...
Thanks for sharing your stories on your amazing blog. I am not a big fan of blogs, but you are really an anointed writer. This blog is special.
I just want to encourage you and remind you that the biggest testing comes right before the biggest promise is received. I know God has a great future and great promises for you.
I can see from your most recent post that you recognize that God is adding endurance to your faith through the unknown length of the testing.
Your journey is a bit like Moses' who spent 40 years of preparation in the desert to get him to the point where he was the most humble man on earth, and then, one day, out of the blue...the burning bush. (Hopefully your testing doesn't last another 31 years!!! Yeesh.)
My family and I have been going through a similar trial--I've been out of work for two years after slander at my previous job forced me to leave and also destroyed my professional reputation, making it impossible to get another job in my career field of 15 years. God has given us promises, which we thought we would have received long ago, and there have been days when we thought we couldn't go on any longer.
I believe He's bringing us to the point where we just willingly follow Him without any wrestling, like David in Psalm 131, not concerning ourselves with great matters or things too wonderful for us, but with our souls like weaned children. Surely, He has a purpose for that.
I praise God for your faith, and I pray that He will give you the desires of your heart. I believe that He will.
