stepping out | I Am Trusting God

Being in God’s will for my life is my number one priority, but providing for my family is right up there as well. But what I am realizing is that if I am in God’s will, no matter how much it looks like I made a wrong turn, then He will provide for all my needs.

Leaving my job did not endear my with my children, who although they believed that I knew God’s call, were a little afraid that it meant no food for them. I knew that if God was leading me that He would not let them go hungry.

So here is the miracle…get ready

ONLY three times, on three separate days, I have prayed for God to give me money for food since leaving my job.

(My prayers being, “God you promised to take care of me and my kids. Well we need food, and I am believing that you will provide it).

And right after each and every prayer I would get a phone call that lead to my working and earning the money I needed for food.

What are the odds? They are God odds….He is 100% faithful, 100% of the time!!!

When you step out and trust God in a huge way, it sometimes feels as if there is nothing under your feet that you are sure to crash and burn.

But when you keep your eyes on God, He will carry you through to where you need to be!!’

NEVER let fear stop you!

Trust Him and see how good He is!!!

So I have been going through a transition lately.

I left my job a month ago, against the advice of most people I know, to follow Gods leading.

I was to be home for about six months to prepare for my future.

Although I dreamed of starting it off by setting myself apart for God, I ended up in bed for the better part of the month sick, and then fighting the doubts and insecurities that rose up for the rest of it.

There were a lot of them, I could fill the page with all of them.

For a while it seemed as I would not be able to get out of the hole that I seemed to be in.

But God is faithful. I cried out to him and he answered me.

He started filling the hole under my feet with things like encouraging words from friends, prayers of others, as well as flat out giving me what I needed to keep going.

Before I knew it the hole was filled and I was once again standing on solid ground.

I am back to my old self again, and ready to claim all that God has for me.

Sometimes as Christians we get so busy doing what God called us to do that we forget about the fact that we are called to do it in HIS strength not ours.

When God gives you something to do that is so hard you feel as if you cannot rise from the weight of it, call out and ask him to take the load.

He will do it.

Because He loves you and because the load was never yours to carry.
