A Different Field
I haven't been posting on this blog for several months. It has been a hard season but God is faithful. My first post back is not even my own. I just want to share this podcast. I encourage you to listen to the whole thing. It is genuine...it is from a friend I went to college with, Mark Driskill.

The Time In Between
Written 12-27-2011. Scriptures. I Corinthians 11:5, 14:34-35, Luke 12:40 Yesterday I wrote about not having to wait on our Messiah and that He is here now. That is not to say we do not have to wait to see how He will answer prayers or work in a life. The Bible is filled with passages about waiting. He does not make us wait for salvation at all, but we may be required to wait for other things...like a husband to get rested and have a chance to pray and study a Scripture before discussing it...or wait to have time to assemble and install a new printer...or wait for a son to grow strong in body before I can ask for help in moving heavy objects around the house :). I would never ask my youngest son to move a bed. I know he is not ready. I would never ask my mom to install a printer for me because she is not ready technologically to do that. I should not ask my 15 year old son to understand how everything in life works simply because he looks like a man...he hasn't lived enough or had enough experience to know how to do certain things ...like prepare a resume or keep a checkbook. Althouh he will be learning those things soon. So why should I ask my husband over and over again for answers on spiritual matters (we know the word for that...the dreaded "N" word) when he simply is not ready yet? It doesn't mean he is not leading me. In fact, it means he does not want to discuss it before he is ready because he does not want to lead me in the wrong direction. And look! The joy I have found now in waiting on the Lord by waiting for Him to speak to my husband. I can continue to study and pray about it myself and then perhaps what my husband says will be a confirmation of what the Holy Spirit shows me...and my faith will grow. Waiting isn't always a bad thing although it can feel difficult. But again there is no time to wait to accept Jesus as Savior because we do not know when our lives will be required of us. "Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of Man cometh at an hour when ye think not." Luke 12:40 Psalm 37:5. "Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass." When I am waiting on my husband, I am waiting on the Lord. Therefore, I do not have to become impatient or controlling or angry. I can trust in the Lord and know that He will provide what I need to know when I need to know it and I can rest in that. Ecc.3:1,2. "To every thing there is a seaon, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted." What are we doing between these times? We are waiting. Waiting to harvest. Waiting to plant again. The ttime in between is that time that the Lord can teach us to rest patiently in Him. I'm not going to fight Him on that :).

Wait Just A Minute!
The Scriptures for today : Proverbs 16:3, Ephesians 5:21-22, Romans 13:11,12 Repost from 12-26-2011 Waiting on family getting ready for church, waiting on the choir director to count out first measure and lead me in, waiting on Donnie to finish counting titheres, waiting on the boys to wake up to open gifts, waiting on lunch till grandparents had visited, waiting on a phone call to be finished so we could leave for a party, waiting on the drive over to arrive at my sister-in-law's. Waiting to clean up the house from Christmas festivities, waiting on a chance to hook up my new printer, waiting to take the Christmas tree down, waiting to see if the family liked the gifts we had brought, waiting for a time of quiet at the end of the day. Sometimes when waiting we can get nervous or anxious. Sometimes we can get irritable or impatient. Sometimes we can get excited and happy. Waiting for the Messiah to come had to be very difficult. Just as waiting...now...to ask the Messiah, Jesus Christ, to be your Savior...can be difficult. Waiting till you've "sown your wild oats" or waiting till you are older or waiting till you get your life in order and become a better person. There is no need to wait any longer. He is here--Emmanual--God with us. He is a few words away from you. A few seconds away from having the Most High Son of God living with you every day in every situation. No waiting. The time is now. Romans 13:11,12. " And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep? For now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand..."
