A Lesson On Faith
Yesterday was a typical Spring day. It rained, hailed, snowed, and then the sun came out. It felt like Winter on the outside. kind of left me feeling gloomy.
I had a lot to do, preparing for my move to Charlotte, NC this weekend coming. For some reason I was not enthused because I wanted it to feel like a warm spring day to go along with the anticipated change that was to happen in my life.
Nevertheless, I got busy doing all the things I needed to do. When I pulled out from my driveway to head to my moms house to say goodbye to everyone, I looked to the left, out of the driver side window, and saw my daffodils with their beautiful yellow blooms. It was if they were there to remind me that whatever the weather looked like it was still Spring.
That reminds me of a scripture in Mathew 6: 28, "Why Are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don't toil, neither do they spin".
Seeing the gloomy weather kind of temporarily made me wonder, what if things don't quite work out in Charlotte the way I envisioned. Moving to another city, out of my comfort zone, is totally a move of faith for me.
I will be leaving behind everything that has become my place of comfort and security. Over the past couple of years it seems as if I have been stripped of everything familiar and that I cherish. My church home, a couple of close friends, now my job, my house. I am moving hours away from my family and the people whom I have grown close to.
Why you may wonder? Because I want to honor the Spirit of God that is within me. Though Charlotte is totally new for me and my future uncertain. I trust that God has a plan. I have always told others to trust the spirit of God within you. Now it's time to back up my own words of faith.
If God can cause the flowers in my garden to continue to bloom the most glorious yellow color even though the snow was falling, surely He will cause me to prosper in the mist of whatever circumstances that show up on my journey.
