Isaiah 6:8 has Isaiah saying "here I am Lord send me." This has been the desire of my heart since this became my life verse when I was in college. I wanted to be ready and willing to do what The Lord has for me. The Lord has opened the door for me to be in Jax for seven wonderful years...I always thought I would live here for a long time, maybe get married and have a family here. I always said I would NEVER move back home...but the time has come and The Lord is leading and I must be ready and willing to move. Three weeks from today I will say goodbye to a place that has been very near and dear to my heart...a place I have grown to love, and place where I have met many wonderful people that will always hold a special place in my heart. I am not saying goodbye, I am saying see ya later...the Lord has been good and it's time for the next adventure He has for me. Pray as I search for a job near my parents, as I transition living at home again, but most of all that I can be used of Him and willing to do His will.
I have to admit it took a lot of circumstances that were very difficult to go through for me to finally realize some things in my life...God is good, His timing is perfect. It took a summer at home to help me realize that I can be used elsewhere, and that Gods ways are far better than mine. I am thankful for a good and faithful God that no matter what has shown me grace, mercy, and love.
It is far better to be serving the Lord in the center of His will, rather than trying to serve Him in a place He is taking you away from...and where He had been taking you away from long before you realized it.
I love that song!
