The past two weeks here in Jacksonville, Florida have been amazing. I've gotten to meet with some incredible people and see the Church move in ways I never thought I would. But on the flip side of that there has been a lot of waiting periods as well. The first week I was here I was primarily in the room I'm staying in writing up blogs, working on videos, searching Churches and other tedious tasks. While this hasn't been the most fun it was much easier to do than what God has called me to do this past week: wait.
That's right. He's having me wait on Him. Go figure, right? This small season of waiting on Him has been so different from any other season I have had to do it. This time I have had absolutely no answers, no way out, no fall back, but only what He has given me. It is so hard to just sit and listen without praying, having my mind wonder off, or anything but longing and listening for His voice to show up.While it has been a bit of a struggle personally for me just to sit and wait, it has also been one of the most peaceful weeks I have had in quite a while. I've had some pretty awesome experiences with the Holy Spirit and God has promised me a lot and shown me who I am in ways I hadn't seen before. But still there has been little direciton as to what is next.
This has gotten me to realize how often I focuse on the next thing in life. Often times I am so focused on what is next I miss what is happening right in front of me. More importantly within that I miss His presence. That has been a major part of what this past week has been about for me...His presence.
While I may not be 100% positive about where, how, or when, I do know this: His presence isn't going to leave me. As long as I let Him He can be Lord over my life and with that I don't have to worry about a single thing except keeping my focus upon Him.
