When life is raw and your plans don't seem to mesh with God's...............
The more you fight what's meant to be, the further away you drift from reality. All the further you turn from God. The one who knows you best, The only one who knows what's best.....
And in the beginning it may be so hard to see and it feels so much like your running on blind faith but, beloved that's what faith is, that's how it grows, that's how it builds and gets strong. If there were never a battle we would never see VICTORY.
In all this life we stumble and fall and half the time we walk around broken, not even knowing we've abandoned the healer. And we let our troubles rise and grow until they seem to break the sound barrier And all He wants.....All He is asking is that we BE STILL.........
And when waiting on Him to show us the way we become impatient and we start to believe He's not there....And I've heard my Daddy say "Kimmy you seem to forget I'm a believer." And I tell him with tears streaming down my face...."But Dad you have to be still and listen." And Daddy, the one who has worked so hard all of his life, the one who doesn't know how to sit still and wait because all he's ever done was to keep moving and providing.......And now He has no choice but to be still.....And I hear him softly say "but Kimmy I can't hear him."
And our emotions are high and he hurts with more than just the crippling pain in his weary bones........When pride falls, it falls hard and sometimes when we hit the ground it feels like we will never have strength to get up again....And God....His desire is not to see you hit hard but, to see how long you will stay there before you lay prostrate and focus on Him........WE are nothing with out our maker....And yes it hurts to be molded and refined but we have to remember this is not our home.....Any child of God has to believe that we are just passing through and this is all apart of His plan not ours.......And the only way that we can find JOY is to pull deep from with in.
His plan is greater. His plan is better.
And Daddy I know this is not what you wanted.....It's not what we wanted......But it's what God wants that matters. And just because your not behind that big steering wheel doesn't mean God's plan for you is over. You are still strong enough with God's power to do great things. Your a good man...Generous and kind, Polite and honest, hard working and faithful........
But right now at this moment I believe God wants you to be still......Listen with all your heart and know that He is GOD.
And by the way your baby girl loves you and I am so PROUD to call you DADDY! I always will be proud to be your daughter.........I know, I know......."Kimmy don't you cry!" Daddy it's too late..........
