To leave or not to leave…that is the question!
For
the past few months I've been consumed with this question…should I leave
or should I stay? Am I where God wants
me to be? Is this in His will for
me?
For
me, it has been a matter of taking a decision about the next step in my career
and balancing those choices with my personal goals and our corporate goal as a
family. Whatever choices I make affect
how my life and that of my husband and children will be both in the short and
the long term.
For
you, it might be a decision you would have to take about who you marry, whether
or not to take that scholarship and go to school outside, leaving your little
child and husband behind, or the decision to stay in a job or quit to start
something for yourself.
Yesterday,
during a conversation with my old friend, Ewurama Bennin, we came to a number
of conclusions:
- Submitting our will to that of God and going when and where He says to go is always a difficult balance;
- Sometimes fear is the main deciding factor. Even when God says to move, fear rationalizes our decisions to stay;
- His directions are clear…He gives us all the necessary indications;
- Every choice comes with trade-ins.
My
devotion this morning also gives me some reassurances that I'm on the right
track. http://us2.campaign-archive2.com/?u=f63562b3be485ea0ae33acf18&id=a3ddfd0376&e=7f636ca56d
I’M MOVING LORD!
Oh God please increase my FAITH and I will continually sing "Tis so sweet to TRUST in JESUS..."
