i'm putting it in words...

Isn't it odd (not sure if that is the right word) how you can think you know what's going on but you have no clue? At the start of the year when God was really impressing upon my heart the idea of patience (which, He still is), I thought that meant patience in what I was doing, where I was, where I was going. The funny thing is, I had no idea what God's idea of patience was. Turns out, I still don't.

I've been given a glimpse though. This idea of patience has manifested itself in me needing to be patient in trusting God to continually lead me down the path He has been leading me all along. Does that make sense? I don't know if it does. In my head it does, but on paper it seems a little nonsensical. Let me see if I can explain in what they call "layman's terms".

I'm moving to Atlanta. There, I said it. Only a handful of people know. And, after all the hordes of people that read my blog read this blog, only a handful of people will know. Two months ago, I had no clue I was moving to Atlanta. I thought I was buying a house in Nashville (see first or second blog). That was my concept of patience...settle down and wait and see. It has been made clear to me over the past two months, though, that my idea of patience is a bit skewed. I even wrote about it back in January and still remained unclear in my heart and my mind. I'm not so unclear anymore. God has specifically called me to something bigger than myself. I'm not even sure I can vocalize/typalize (yes, that's a new word) beyond that. So, you'll have to wait for a later blog when I can be more specific. I do have plans, a job, a place to live...but, that's for a conversation, not a blog.

I am happy. I feel at peace. How long will it last? Who knows? Does God ever promise us more than today? I just have to trust that in walking alongside Him, I will take the detours He wants me to take when its time.
