Pages

If our lives are like a story, then I will be turning a new page. Tomorrow, I begin taking seminary classes at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, IL. The page has practically been turned as Catie and I have taken a leap of faith and moved from our life in ministry in Muncie to seminary in the Chicago suburbs. God has been faithful as I have been assured that this is exactly the right time to “turn the page.” Sometimes, actually many times, I have a difficult time differentiating when God is telling me to turn the page and move on in faith trusting Him, or if it is my own desires and insecurities pushing the decision. I have to ask myself these questions: is it my own desires pushing this new direction in my life? Is this really what God wants? What will happen in the future? What is God’s will for my life? There is so much to that discussion – what is God’s will for one’s life? It is sometimes overwhelming, but as I continue to live a life of faith in Christ I only need to know the next step He is asking me to take. God is faithful – He has not steered me wrong in the past, He has proved faithful. Big decisions, small decisions, God has blessed me. I am about to officially turn the page to a new chapter, and I am ready to see God use me and direct me through this wonderful time. The people I will meet along the way, the things I will get to see, and the reassurance that I am exactly where I need to be are all at my fingertips.

Where is God leading you? What steps do you need to take to be where He wants you?

“My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.”

Psalm 62:1-2
