Thank you for visiting Weekend Kindness-- the blog that helps you build positive relationships! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed so that you don't miss a single post from one of our great authors!
My wife and I have told God that we want Him to work in our lives. To take us and our family anywhere He pleases. We have been looking for a house for over two years, and every time we get close, the door closes. God tells us that it’s not the right time yet.
And yet, on the horizon is something big– something God-sized that is going on, but I’m not quite sure what it all means yet. Let’s just say that I see the hand of the Lord on my family again, and that He is already at work preparing something for us to do.
How do I know it’s Him? Part of it is intuition– the intuition that told me to return to my hometown, to join this current church at this time, and that told me who to marry. Part of it is circumstance– I couldn’t begin to detail all that I’ve seen and that I’m seeing at work. Maybe as it comes closer to fulfillment I can talk about all the marvelous ways I’m seeing Him at work.
And lastly, part of it is because He’s answering our prayers. We long to be part of something that we can point to and say “that was not me, that was God.” “That was not of me or my church’s strength, that was of God’s strength.”
And of course, I believe He’s trying to use me here on the web as well— though I’m sure that He’s shaking His head sometimes at what I choose to write, post, and how I respond in comments! But praise be to Him that He loves me and is choosing to use me.
