Yes the desert is HOT and DRY, but it is where God does His best work in us. Don’t be afraid of the heat.

I have been whining at God for the past few weeks. I am going through a desert time, and feel as though I am going to die in the heat (yes, I am dramatic 🙂 ). This morning I woke to find yet another thing had not gone as planned, and at that moment I understood how a person’s emotion could completely get the better of them, if they choose to give into to it. My first thought was, “If it is going to continue being like this, why am I trying so hard?” Then I whined at God and basically threatened Him. Hahaha (yup I am sure God’s super scared now). As I drove to work Andy Mineo’s, You Will cycled on my iPod. The chorus goes like this: “I know You will. I know You will. Even when they say You won’t I know You will. I know You will. I know You will. Even when they say You can’t. I know You will. God there’s nothing You can’t do. Nothing in this world too big for You. Even when they say You can’t, I know You will.” The song made me realize that while I may KNOW God will, right at this moment my actions do not reflect my knowledge. I am living in fear, and being afraid has been keeping me from living out what I know. My heart knows that God will take care of what’s going, but I am too scared to let go and let Him handle the situation. Which is stupid since I am powerless to fix it without help. Today was a wake up call, to just DO. I have a to-do list of things, things that need to be accomplished so I can move forward. But I have been allowing the situations to dictate my foot steps. God reminded me He WILL, and from this point on I need to let my steps dictate my circumstance (not the other way around). It won’t be easy, but me and my fears are going to take a journey with God and only one of us will make it to the finish line.

“Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you” (1 Peter 5:7).

So what’s my plan of attack? Let God remove my fear and doubt as I journey with Him.
