Right Here Right Now.

Lately, I have been shown the overwhelming grace of Gods timing.

Everything in its season and time.

Yeah?

I just sit here in amazement at the place where I am at…

This place, right here, right now. 

Everything that I am surrounded by are dreams that weren’t ever even dreamed.

I have friends that I never knew would be in my life really in my life and filling me up with truth every single day. I have children I didn’t even think I would ever have filling my home with joyful noise. I have a home I never intended to live in but now love. All these things are over and beyond anything I ever dreamed or planned.

Do you ever feel these things?

An overwhelming sense of satisfaction in His will over yours?

I mean goodness, if I was in control of this plan, I wouldn’t be anywhere near where I am.

Yet the things that brought me here aren’t things I would have even used.

Heartache, pain, loss, sorrow, stress, anxiety, guilt, worry.

All bad things. All things I would never think would produce good everlasting fruit.

But God.

But God takes those things and uses them for His glory.

Thank God.

Am I right!?

I just pray I keep being clay…clay that is soft and ready to be molded and shaped, not clay that hardens and dries out not willing to be transformed into his glorious plan.

Friends. I pray that you have these moments.

The ones that are so good they are hard to understand and couldn’t come from anywhere else except from Him, and I pray that you too remain clay, soft and pliable and ready to mold into whatever it is he has planned for you.
